Anyone Else Staying Up For The CERN Announcement About The Higgs Boson Tonight?
Word on the street from my dealer is that they will announce "evidence" for the higgs boson at the 4-sigma level.
Edit for the Googlers:
The announcement will be at 9:00 A.M. CEST (Central European Standard Time) which is about 2:00 A.M. CST (Chicago). But Fermilab has already announced the "strongest indication to date" of the existence of it.

no
With such viral bias, you're opinion is thus rendered useless. -Shrapnel12, on my "bias" against the SS.
I've never understood how God could expect his creatures to pick the one true religion by faith — it strikes me as a sloppy way to run a universe.
Chin up. I thought for sure it would be at the 5-sigma level too, but that's no reason to pretend you don't care about science. 99.99367% certainty is damn good if you ask me. I'm trying to see if Intrade is taking bets on this.
probably maybe

Hey CERN just found me /
And this is crazy /
But I'm the higgs boson /
So discover me maybe

I'm not detecting much high energy on these boards...

Well, this is a disaster. I've been told that news of the discovery, like me, will not in fact be coming tonight. The announcement is early on July 4.
Is that from Albert's latest rap?Originally Posted by Wiglaf
If he started rapping about high energy physics instead of boring crap like closeted homos and marriage, I'd buy his album enough times to make him rich.
The discovery will further our understanding of the physics of our universe, but it won't actually affect the way we live. So piss off.
This is where an awesome Mark Twain quote would be, but Apolyton says it would be too many lines. :(

Look, I'm a red blooded American male. I love high energy physics and I hate fags. I can't help it.
Went to the CVS and picked up some nacho cheese dip for the big reveal tomorrow.
My guess is they're going to announce that they have, in fact, created a mini-black hole, and that the Earth only has a year to live.
it is embarrassingly catchy...
It's a send-up of an earwormy pop song (Call Me Maybe).
God will not allow us to find the Higgs Boson Particle.
ACK!

He's allowed us to find a whole host of other particles. What's so special about this one?
Wrong, because it is actually just over five months.

They don't want to alarm us / they want to trick us into thinking we have more time so that they'll be prepared when the end comes and we won't be.
There is no Higgs Boson particle, when they rename to it's correct name, then they will find it.He's allowed us to find a whole host of other particles. What's so special about this one?

I assume you prefer the more inclusive Englert-Brout-Higgs-Guralnik-Hagen-Kibble boson?
Nope.

Why would they even tell us? It would make more sense to not tell anyone the world will end, quit their jobs and amass lots of debt with no intention of ever repaying it. Be on the lookout for any physicists acting strangely.
I was thinking you were going for Godot.Nope.

It's quite possible they believe it would be impossible to completely cover up their world-ending mistake, so they want to give out some information so that we're inclined to believe them.
I have no clue what their trial factor would be.

Yes, anyone can bring about the end of the world without getting killed by angry mobs. I guess they could claim they know how to destroy the tiny black holes, but they need trillions in funding.
A very distinct possibility.
