A hunt for Higg's bosom.

[FeatherZ]

It's on tonight at 9pm for all the geeks out there!

Bbc2 btw.

So a pair of bosons is called a bosom?

[FeatherZ]

Silly me.

[Higgs boson]

A hunt is not required!

[Laurel Green]

Even if they find it we will not be able to see it.

[jaybirduk]

Mrs Higgs has cracking bosom

[SystemParanoia]

will be awesome when we have the tech to build an orbital collider ring around jupiters feint ring

Thanks for the heads up - could easily have missed this. It's looking v interesting so far and I always like Jim Al-Khalili's delivery - measured, not over blown and informative.

I expect it's down the back of the sofa just like everything else that gets lost !!

[vescaegg]

What a fascinating programme. If only I could understand it

[Gun]

Interesting stuff! 2011 was a great year for physics and 2012 could be even better.

If they do discover Higg's tits I hope they announce it on the 21st December just to mess with the tin foil hatters.

[Maximum Bobs]

I had to go & get a burger so missed most of it, what happened in the end?

[EDLT]

They revealed the meaning of life.

[SystemParanoia]

the higgs boson particle looks like a Portal Companion cube apparently


...the cake is a lie!

Doesn't Higgs know?

Otherwise anyone can invent non-existent things and get their name on them. The Simpo Prime Deluxe Quark for example. No-one's found that either...

Pretty much. If you define that particle and say what it is, how to find it and what it does then yes. As it was, Higgs wrote various papers on a theoretical particle, and other people started referring to it as Higgs' BosomBoson.

Found one of those in an old pair of trousers last week,threw it out

[AJLintern]

Yes I picked up on that! Thought it was 65 million years ago?! But that's physicists for you - not particularly practically minded and very much into their sphere of work Was an interesting programme, but a bit too much arty farty camera work. Though quite nostalgic to wander down the CERN corridors again - not been for a few years since helping to install bits of the ATLAS detector
