fuck me , there are way too many people like that down here. At some point you get so used to their shortcomings as persons, to where any interaction that actually resembles normalcy, gives you an inexplicable sense of gratitude....that's just fucked up.

k so it looks like they are now calling it 'found' for all intents and purposes.

jesus h waterboarding christ, what's with all the daily mail links? ffs Asscrakali read a better newspaper, one not written by chimps

p.s. note how every DM article calls it 'the god particle' without ever explaining why. it's like they're sending a subliminal message to their core readership (i.e. reactionary god-botherers) that the whole thing is impious and hubristic, and that science has gone 'too far' this time

yeah, good enough to deserve a link to a story not written by retarded reactionaries with an entire bundle of sticks up their collective arses

and you know what a bundle of sticks is called? yeah, that's right: a faggot

A bundle of sticks is a rick...

But that's short for Richard. And Richard is long for Dick. So I guess you're technically right...

One good thing about CERN. They invented the World Wide Web.

I imagine this is the sort of nonsense GFY had in mind when he made that post.

I don't think he was downplaying the discovery itself, just the rediculas media reaction to it.

Cheers...because I couldn't be arsed. :up:

Here's a cool article on the Higgs boson in case there's anyone still not clear on what it is, what could have been discovered and what it means for science in the next few years...and it doesn't include FTL travel, time travel or a matter transporter...at least not for a while:

A Higgs boson Q&A
It's really difficult to guess what scientific advances are going to pay dividends. Logic gates were first considered around 1900; quantum mechanics was developed in the 1930s. It took until the 1970s for them to be married in the form that all of us now use. Restriction enzymes were discovered in the 1960s when people were trying to figure out why only some viruses could infect some bacteria. They ended up being an essential foundation for the biotech industry. I could go on with examples for ages.

If anyone tells you which areas of basic research will have the largest economic impact 30 years from now, I'd bet money they're wrong.

Might the money have done more good in applied research? Possibly, but even there, there are no guarantees. The technology we actually get is often radically different from what we'd want or expect based on the state of scientific knowledge. In other words, we may want and expect flying cars, but we end up with always-online smartphones. And I'd trade them both for fusion power, the basic physics of which we nailed down decades ago.
