The Higgs Boson; a triumph?

 Summer,summer, glorious summer! As if I needed another excuse to drink lemonade straight out of the bottle - frequent sips distressing the previous lack of fluctuation in my body's mass. Anyway, since my thoughts on lemonade are rarely of any cultural significance, it might be better if they end right here.

 The Large Hadron Collider seems to have been put to good use, since it has provided some clues concerning the existence of an until-now hypothetical particle ; the Higgs Boson.  The H⁰ exerts a field which affects different particles by different drags, and so gives them a distinct mass. The Higgs Boson rightfully claimed its title as one of the yet-to-be-solved issues of modern physics, since it is predicted in the Standard Model but has never been detected outside theoretical practices.

 Why am I so seemingly excited? Not one, but 60 plus Higgs collisions have been illustrated in recent Cern images (above). And whilst it is still too early to be certain of those particles' status, we're close to discovering whether their postulated-status will be ridded of - or whether cosmology's array of technology will prove they're nothing but a theoretical flaw. Either way, both outcomes would be equally valuable.


 What may I say? My blog is genreless, and on the eve of any further discovery concerning this elusive matter I will not abstain from informing each and every reader - physics-centred or steering towards the opposite - of how close we are to claiming full comprehension of even more physical processes.


PS: On the 2nd of August I will depart for Chicago, and I'll make sure to keep you informed about my trip - which translates to images, updates of the places I've visited and an even wider array of issues-faced analysed.  Please do not abandon the blog until then, but rather await raw reviews.
