Nobel Prize for physics goes to Higgs boson researchers

Well....d'uh
Britain's Peter Higgs and Francois Englert of Belgium won the Nobel Prize for physics on Tuesday for predicting the existence of the Higgs boson particle that explains how elementary matter attained the mass to form stars and planets.
Half a century after their original work, the new building block of nature was finally detected in 2012 at the CERN research centre's giant, underground particle-smasher near Geneva. The discovery was hailed as one of the most important in physics.
"I am overwhelmed to receive this award and thank the Royal Swedish Academy," Higgs said in a statement released by the University of Edinburgh. "I hope this recognition of fundamental science will help raise awareness of the value of blue-sky research."
Nowhere amongst the winners of these intellectual giants was there a discussion about the iPhone 5, no accolades for the movie Elysium and no discussion on whether or not either of them lifted.

God exists! In your face atheists. Also: "God does not role dice" - Albert Einstein.

PS: The nobel price in physics is for pussies. The fields medal is the true sign of a surpreme intellect.

Pretty sure the nickname god particle came from a truncated version of "god damn particle", as in "this god damn particle is impossible to find!" It's a villainous bastige.

They gave the peace prize to Obama, might as well give the physics prize to xer0s.

Yes, well earned.
One question I am looking for an answer to is Higgs boson? We know where the Higgs comes from but anyone know where the boson bit came from?
Never mind

When did they announce they were certain it was the higgs-boson? I must have missed that.

Google it you lazy stupid cunt.
Maybe if they announced it on Entertainment Tonight you'd have heard about it? You're as useless as xer0s when it comes to using whatever miniscule brain matter you two mental-midgets have at garnering information to questions easily answered.
I mean...Whiskey did it only 2 posts up. Is that a recent enough example for you to learn from?

lol this isn't the first thread on a topic of human intellectual achievement invaded by the dumb. It seems to be a pattern on this forum.
