good?? i thinkConfused

LDNmummy · 27/04/2011 13:04

I do find it slightly terrifying if I am honest.

knittedbreast · 27/04/2011 13:05

very good, imo

knittedbreast · 27/04/2011 13:06

i wonder what it looks like, how it behaves.

I wonder if i might be able to purchase one?

why do you find it scary? are you religious?

I wish they'd stop calling it the god particle. It's science, not religion, keep the two well apart.

It's a very early leak so it might not have been found after all. But any scientific discovery is good.

Pram1nTheHall · 27/04/2011 13:09

Isn't it Higgs Boson?

Or is this another unutterably cruel MNHQ wind-up? Wink

Anyway, yes, is well cool innit

AnnieLobePassoverSeder · 27/04/2011 13:09

God particle? Please explain. Or link. Or something.

RtHonLadyEuphemiaOfCaledonia · 27/04/2011 13:09

I think you mean the Higgs Boson. [geek]

His wife (Professor Higgs') used to teach me Phonetics. Smile

WinterOfOurDiscountTents · 27/04/2011 13:10

its Higgs Bosun, btw, not Hicks Bison.

SardineQueen · 27/04/2011 13:10

I also think moniker god partlice is crappo

RtHonLadyEuphemiaOfCaledonia · 27/04/2011 13:10

Higgs Boson.

SardineQueen · 27/04/2011 13:10

boson surely

WinterOfOurDiscountTents · 27/04/2011 13:11

Hicks-Bison

DontGoCurly · 27/04/2011 13:11
Confused
AnnieLobeseder · 27/04/2011 13:11

I is a scientist but physics makes my head hurt.

Very cool though.

HerHissyness · 27/04/2011 13:12

Here's the link

it's HIGGS BOSON btw, not a Bison with contractions.... PMSL

juuule · 27/04/2011 13:12

Higgs speculation is 'premature'?

Pagwatch · 27/04/2011 13:13

Hicks bison would be fantastic

a particle the size of a buffalo. and you could wash your hands in it.

GypsyMoth · 27/04/2011 13:13

so what does it mean for modern day life??

knittedbreast · 27/04/2011 13:14

bloody hell! how did he manage to spell it that wrong. that said after reading some articles i should have noticed the difference-perhaps more proof of why im not a scientist!

@ ILoveTIFFANY

Hopefully no more housework and a cure for everything from cancer to a fat bum!

YAY!
