Post your comments for CERN Finds Evidence of the Higgs Boson (What's Next, Star Trek Artificial Gravity?) here

[LoganRensel]

Good article. Bad title. Why does this have anything to do with Star Trek? Real life is far more exciting.

Finally. An ultimate weapon to end all wars.

@LoganRensel The Higgs Boson is an indicator for the Higgs mechanism, which gives mass to elementary particles. That's probably why there's "Star Trek artificial gravity" in the title.

I don't think they said they found the Higgs boson, I believe they currently say they have evidence of a new type of boson, but are reluctant to call it the "Higgs Boson" right now.

Higgs is for mass.
Gravitons is for weight.

I think this is a fair criticism--I was actually mulling over the headline myself after we posted it. If you see anything that may need fixing aside from that, do send a note to the tips email address listed in the sidebar on the article page. We did post this at 2am, after all.

(P.S. I love comment threads like this. Intelligent commentary! )

EDIT: I went ahead and tweaked the headline to state they found evidence of a Higgs-like particle.

Why the stunads in the USA succeed the high sciences to the Europeans is absoluetly stupid. Everybody knows science is, has been, and always will be the economic leader for any nation at any time. Those monkeys love to shake the stick in the trees and swear how well austerity is working out in Europe.

Who knows, maybe they will find there is more than one "higgs" type boson, everything else seems to have an equal but opposite double, why not the higgs?

With the breakthroughs in sensor technology, we're sure to see many more "particles" become evident. Our present cosmology has so many missing pieces and much is still "theory". A whole raft of newer and bigger experiments is in the offing and it shall continue into the 22ND century. I liken the study of the smallest particles to the study of the cosmos. It does appear to be never ending. As our cosmos expands with our ways to see objects far away, so does the study of the tiniest pieces that make up that same cosmos.

The theory presented in that article assumes that only 4 forces exist. However, I made an accidental discovery of the Fifth Force a few decades ago, and in 2012 I sent E-Mail description of this historic all-important event to many String Theory Experts (MIT, Columbia Univ., Cal, Bubble Chamber in Berkeley, CA, etc.), as it gives evidence of their "Supersymmetry". My account of my Fifth Force Discovery is in my "Autobiography of James E. Nassir, USA aerospace Engineer", June 2012. Do a www.google.com SEARCH on "James E. Nassir" , and then left-click on "Autobiography..." so you can order your copy as per that ad if you like the ad description.

As per the Biological Research Work which I have found through my invented Medical Instrument, I would like to call this Higgs boson particle is a life creating particle for the "Biological System as well as for the "building block of matter." This I am able to achieved it once I increase the level of voltage in the brain through the medium of light. Thus it enhances the dipole dipole force that makes the body and the brain fresh. This dipole dipole force is nothing but Higgs boson particles that attracts coolant particles at the sub-atomic level create freshness to the human body. Same being applied for the North and South poles for the formation of the glaciers by this coolant action influenced by Higgs boson particle. This is what makes the Greenland glaciers to melt rapidly at the surface level radiated by warmness of the sea water looses it coolant action at the Sub-atomic level melt the glaciers at the very surface of the soil instead of melting it at top.
