The article is way too long to read, as I will likely become incredibly interested and open about 30 tabs.  Can someone give me a really quick overview of what that is and what it could mean?

StrangeSox Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The Standard Model of particle physics predicts that you need the Higgs Boson, but so far they haven't been able to find it because the particle accelerators didn't operate at the right energy levels. CERN now does, so they may actually be able to find evidence of the Higgs and further confirm the Standard Model. IIRC it's the one big hole in it at this point. The Higgs is also what gives things mass. Â As for what it could mean, I'm sure it'd be a huge deal in the world of particle physics. Beyond that, I dunno.

BigSqwert Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) If I'm not mistaken, it could bolster the case for superstring theory. That's a theory that involves parallel/multiple universes. Edited July 23, 2011 by BigSqwert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I strongly recommend Naples, Florida if you're looking for somewhere on the Gulf Coast to vacation. Not as crowded as Clearwater and IMO, the beach was better. Had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The best part is that people watched for a half hour before anyone reported it...  http://www.fox28.com/story/15141934/social...-reducing-hours  Prosecutors in eastern Indiana have filed public indecency charges against a man and a woman after they were caught having sex in a busy public pool. Connersville police say officers were called to the Roberts Park Family Aquatic Center, where witnesses said the 39-year-old man and 40-year-old woman had been having sex for about a half hour before complaining to the pool manager.  The manager told officers that when she told them to stop and they moved away from each other she could see the man's penis.  Deputy Police Chief Dennis Perkins tells the Connersville News-Examiner that the couple was initially given trespass warnings on Sunday and not arrested because officers didn't see what happened.  Both face up to a year in jail if convicted of the misdemeanor charges.

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Any advice that I can use to make the most of my forthcoming Miller Park experience? I'm heading up there 9/10 for a Phillies game and would like to get the most out of the town. I've seen the city before, but that was pre-2000 (Summerfest and their esteemed Zoo). I'm told the cheese and bratwursts are not to be missed, and also that the women are ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
