Yup...apparently it's the end of the world...ney universe as we know
it tomorrow, so this may be my last EVER post....lol...:O))
In a 17 mile lab at CERN on the French/Swiss boarder tomorrow,
scientists will attempt to discover the Higgs bolson particle ~ see
below ~ apparently...as Oasis once said..."some might
say"...that in doing so they will open up a black hole into which
we will all disappear..So in which case, what are you going to do with
your last day on earth tomorrow???
The Higgs boson or BEH Mechanism, popularised as the "God Particle", is a hypothetical massive scalar elementary particle predicted to exist by the Standard Model of particle physics; it is the only Standard Model particle not yet observed. Experimental observation would elucidate how otherwise massless elementary particles nevertheless manage to construct mass in matter. More specifically, the Higgs boson would explain the difference between the massless photon and the relatively massive W and Z bosons. Elementary particle masses, and the differences between electromagnetism (caused by the photon) and the weak force (caused by the W and Z bosons), are critical to many aspects of the structure of microscopic (and hence macroscopic) matter; thus, if it exists, the Higgs boson is an integral and pervasive component of the material world.
As of yet, no experiment has directly detected the existence of the Higgs boson, but this may change as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produces results. The Higgs mechanism, which gives mass to vector bosons, was theorized in August 1964 by François Englert and Robert Brout ("boson scalaire"), in October of the same year by Peter Higgs, working from the ideas of Philip Anderson, and independently by G. S. Guralnik, C. R. Hagen, and T. W. B. Kibble who worked out the results by the spring of 1963.The three papers written by Higgs, Brout, Englert, Guralnik, Hagen, and Kibble were each recognized as milestone papers by Physical Review Letters 50th anniversary celebration. Higgs proposed that the existence of a massive scalar particle could be a test of the theory, a remark added to his Physical Review letter at the suggestion of the referee. Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam were the first to apply the Higgs mechanism to the electroweak symmetry breaking. The electroweak theory predicts a neutral particle whose mass is not far from the W and Z bosons.

LOL, love the title and the cute fella. My son came home from school today - apparently all the kids in his class are also scared of the world ending,...
Of course, tomorrow is simply first beam - no actual particle collisions till October so you can all breathe easy!
...and even then, should a micro-black hole somehow manage to be produced in October, it won't be able to gather mass as it will be in a super-cooled vaccum, shielded both by lead and a huge magnetic field.

Good shot. I always wondered what I'd do if the world were to finish (or I to die) tomorrow, so I guess today I find that with that theoretical potential I shall go sit out and watch the birds!
