Higgs and the Power…

A memorable day what with the announcement of Higgs. And also for us, in getting power back after the East Coast Derecho storm of last Friday. A crew from Canada hooked us back up under mutual aid with Dominion Power. On the Fourth of July…..go figure!

Higgs particle sabotaging the Large Hadron Collider?

I’ll have to put this one out to my theoretical physicist colleagues, but apparently there’s this wild idea that Nature is sabotaging the Large Hadron Collider to avoid creating a Higgs particle (which apparently gives things their property of mass). The notion is that creating a Higgs particle would be very bad.

Sounds like Drudge? Nope, it’s in the NY Times right here.
