Searching for Higgs Boson, the God particle

(CERN simulation of a black hole)

WOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Some people were afraid, and tried to legally abort the project. According to CNN (here):

Skeptics, who claim that the experiment could lead to the creation of a black hole capable of swallowing the planet, failed in a legal bid to halt the project at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

I am in awe!!! This is all soooooo amazing, and we should be proud of physicists who developed the LHC project (see CERN site here)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. We are boldly going where no man has ever gone before, indeed...

For live webcast of press releases regarding the particle-breaking event, go to Groovy Gecko (sorry, Flower...) here.

MD's can also read about the event here and here (in Portuguese).

Berná disse...: Eu também, eu também! O que mais me fascina nessa história toda é que o LHC é um... testador de hipóteses!!! O aspecto puramente dedutivo da física é fascinante, indeed! Já pensaram que barato, se algum dia desses uma colisãozinha de partículas permite de fato que se comprove a existência do Bóson de Higgs, elemento postulado pela teoria, apenas????

What’s a Mean Diva? First of all, let’s assume the concept is not easy to define. Not in words, at least. Because words fail to describe what’s precisely at the heart of being a Mean Diva: small acts, a way of looking around and noticing the exact same things that other MDs would have noticed, and, most important, making the same kind of comments. So, from what was said, one can deduce that MDs are not only intelligent but smart and bright (no, dears, those things do not always come together…). MDs are fun and will always run far, far away from mediocrity (there’s nothing worse in the eyes of a MD than mediocrity!). But, let’s not forget: MDs are, sometimes, very cruel. After all, they are Mean Divas!

But, if you really want to know more about the Mean Divas, who their favorite “Divos” and heroes are and what they are doing to help save the minds of this world, browse through their posts in this blog.
