Big Bang Theory

2008.09.15

Today's post is in celebration of the first successful test of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) built at CERN near Geneva to explore the origin of fundamental particles at conditions akin to those within a trillionth of a second of the Big Bang.

As expected from the experiments and as the picture illustrates evidence of the Higgs Boson, whilst infinitessimally ephemeral, is indisputable. This goes a long way to demonstrating the "missing link", confirming that fundamental particles acquire mass via transition through the Higgs Field whilst so-called force-carrier particles such as protons remain massless. Hence, the Standard Model of fundamental particles is vindicated.

Alternatively, it might just be evidence of me messing around with a few coloured pins and rear-curtain flash. Your choice!
