Large Hadron Collider - The Search For The Higgs [3 of 3]

On November, 2007 the most complex scientific instrument ever built will be switched on. The Large Hadron Collider promises to recreate the conditions in the early universe. By revisiting the beginning of time, scientists hope to
unravel some of the deepest secrets of our Universe.

Within these first few moments the building blocks of the Universe were formed. The search for these fundamental particles has occupied scientists for decades but there remains one particle that has stubbornly refused to appear in any experiment. The Higgs Boson is so crucial to our understanding of the Universe that it has been dubbed the God particle. It explains how fundamental particles
acquire mass, or as one scientist plainly states: "It is what makes stuff stuff..."

It is comical, but tragic that one can read the comments (below) purporting to impart great wisdom upon us, yet when one looks at the channel of the commenter, the real qualifications revealed are laughable. With nearly no qualification, many of you unwittingly admit true ignorance and contempt for a branch of science that very few have the IQ to understand. Your “philosophical” arguments and displays of pseudo genius fool no one.

No Guts . . . No Glory ! ! !

@TheTrancemaster90 true the LHC is a win win situation. If they find the Higgs, it means the theories are right. If they dont it means its wrong and they have to start over. No matter what you can only gain from this.

...did they actually show any footage of the protons (or anything else) colliding..? i got lazy.

[Hrejwaltz]

All proven wrong or highly improbable aishdiaudahdias by LHC itself on 2011

Science is so funny to follow... ironical

[TheTrancemaster90]

@Galmozzi99 They don't found Higgs yet but they have seen some interesting effect like the enlargement of protons while running or the 16 minutes record of antimatter imprisonment; besides they don't found any evidence of Super SYmmetry. However the experiment in itself is crucial for physics, whatever they discover.

[Galmozzi99]

The LHC will continue to operate at half energy until the end of 2012; it will not run at full energy until 2014.

[Galmozzi99]

Should they not find the Higgs, will or have they learned anything else that would make the endeavor worthwhile?

@KILLBILDERBURG

wow you`re the one who replied to me first and because I expressed disagreement on the Bilderberg you choose to block me?? and you say I need to wake up and that i`m ignorant? I bet you haven`t a clue what I was saying in my reply to you. It`s you who needs to wake up.

[KILLBILDERBURG]

@FeignofCordor ...the epitomy of ignorance... if its possible to block people on here, you'll be my first.. have a nice day, and try to wake up.. nahh forget it.. youre a lost cause

[FeignofCordor]

@KILLBILDERBURG

No I haven`t watched his most recent TV special......But your first comment deserved my reply and i`m not being funny but with the way things are going these days and the islamic future we have for are kids and their kids the last thing I would even consider taking serious is "The Bilderberg" try totally ignoring idiot fools like Alex Jones and become aware of who is trying to take away your basic right to free speech. Islam

[KILLBILDERBURG]

@FeignofCordor ....did you watch his TV special recently where he denounced anyone critical of mainstream thinking... have you read his writings regarding mans involvment in global warming?

if you want to insult me, at least have some facts on your side
