they also call it God particle?
kanina...i read and read oso dun understand what the shit is this?
all over news...but what is the impact???
To put it simply, this is the last piece of the puzzle that will allow scientist to validate the Standard Model after more than 40+ years of research
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model
This will explain why the tiniest of matter observable have mass and from there those with PhDs and an IQ of 3 digits can move on to understand nature beyond what we can see
the 'God' particle was invented by the press to make it interesting to the public, finding it won't explain how and where we came from but it sure will solve another layer of nature's mystery
Spend billion and billion $$$ at least well spend solve the clue. Now physic can confirm with the model.
e=mc2
energy to matter, and vice versa. theory goes when energy pass thru' a higgs field, some can pass thru' easily whereas some slowed down. the slow down converted to matter. well, something like that ... google it up.
you might find it financially wasteful but look at it this way; the bail out for the 2007 financial crisis can fund NASA for 50 years.
the pinnacle of a civilization is usually determined by the advancement of knowledge that the society possess.
im not surprised that some of the forumers here belittled this great scientific achievement. would you want to achieve greater knowledge about nature and appreciate them through your conscious mind for this bried moment, or would you want to be like those religious nutjobs that keep believing in a tribal religion that talked about a global flood, talking snake, man born of virgin birth and walked on water?
what a bloody waste of money
wow. a great discovery indeed...and ? can it save the earth or just merely lengthen its existence by another few years???For u waste of money.
But to solve the problem is worth it.
Manufacturing process maybe change will be more efficient. New material will be create. Even lighter by 5% will save a lot of energy eg. car/aircraft.

Goodness, is the general public in singapore really that stupid? Such discovery could impact many areas of our life. we know the particle exist now, once we finished characterising the particle property we could make use of what we know. For example in area of bioimaging in the medical field, once we are able to understand what kind of interaction this new particle made we another, such interaction gives of energy - light. A good example is PET scan. if everyone has idiotic thinking like you, such life saving technology will have never existed.
u speaking english? wah lao...so tsim ah...
wow...u machiam so clever hor...then why u fuck around in sammyboy forum...u should be a nobel prize winner!
