Quantum Fishing for the Higgs Boson

Hank talks to some VIPs from CERN about the question on everyone's mind: does the Higgs Boson particle exist? And describes how CERN is going about finding the answer.

Hank interviewed Sergio Bertolucci on October 11, 2011 and Rolf Heuer on October 25, 2011. In the time since then, CERN researchers have gotten some tantalizing clues, but the Higgs boson has yet to be found.

This should have been updated lol. the Higgs Boson was found July 4th 2012 lol

[Jacob Denaro]

This whole video is pretty awkward cause, you know, we kinda found it haha

[mitch Rogoff]

It's been found

Well, there are certain fish that bury themselves in mud whenever the pond gets drained and dries up.

So, draining the pond is never enough to finding fish.

Science is not about the answers its about the....... Cheeseballs

[Nick Collins]

Come with Rolf Heuler if you want to learn.

[Alexander Krivács Schrøder]

Gah, the sound is out of sync with the picture!

[jakobsw55]

String theory!

I guess Hank forgot to link it, but this is his followup video

wikipedia says : Status A Higgs boson of mass ~ 125 GeV has been tentatively confirmed by CERN on 14 March 2013,[1][2][3] although unclear as yet which model the particle best supports or whether multiple Higgs bosons exist.[2]

its been a year so whats up!?
