The Higgs Boson and a 'New Physics' --"Could Make the Speed of Light Possible"
Scientists hailed CERN's confirmation of the Higgs Boson in July of 2012, speculating that it could one day make light speed travel possible by "un-massing" objects or allow huge items to be launched into space by "switching off" the Higgs....
The top 40 physics hits of 2012
The Higgs boson is a popular subject among the most-cited physics papers of 2012, but a particle simulation manual takes the top spot. Think of it as a particle physics version of pop radio's “top 40” countdown: INSPIRE, a database of...Show More Summary
Behold, The Madonnas of Science
Currently on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: the work of artist Chris Shaw, who re-imagines historical depictions of the Virgin Mary swaddling not wee baby Jesus, but a Higgs particle, an armillary sphere, and a red, writhing squid. Bonus: admission is free. Read more...
Steve Jobs Created The Computer That Gave Us The World Wide Web
CERN has given us many things in our day, most notable among them recent proof of the existence of the so-called ‘God particle’, the Higgs Boston… one of the most elusive objects in particle physics. But like the Higgs Boson, most of CERN’s achievements are pretty exotic. On April 30 in 1993, though, CERN gave [...]Show More Summary
Congress tries to reset science grants, wants every one to be “groundbreaking”

Snubbed scientist wants to rename the Higgs boson
When it comes to the theory of the Higgs boson, British physicist Peter Higgs gets all the love. But that’s not fair, says Carl Hagen, arguing that he and four other scientists deserve just as much credit. The time has come, he says, to officially rename the so-called God particle. Read more...
When is a Higgs not a Higgs?
One of the scientists who worked on the development of the Higgs boson theory has backed calls for it to be given a name reflecting more than just one man. The debate comes a few weeks after CERN announced it had only one remaining variable to eliminate before confirming that the particle discovered through the [...]
Scientists Push to Give Higgs New Name
Amid rumors that this year's Nobel Prize for Physics will go to the Higgs boson theory, some scientists say the particle's name should be changed so that all the glory doesn't go to British physicist Peter Higgs. At a press conference last year to announce the particle's discovery, Higgs "was...

Peter Higgs: Stop Calling Higgs-Boson The ‘God Particle’ Because There Is No God
The atheist professor doesn’t want the word “God” associated with the particle that bears his name. In an interview with BBC Scotland, the 83-year-old atheist scientist explained that it was “misleading” to suggest that the Higgs boson, a partial that he theorized holds the universe together, was powered by supernatural forces. The phrase was first [...]
