The Collider, the Particle and a Theory About Fate →
apodeitic:
“A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.”

A twenty-seven kilometer film →
For the past two weeks, Bram Conjaerts, a Belgian filmmaker, has been touring the CERN sites and surrounding countryside conducting research for his new documentary. The film will follow the entire 27 km length of the LHC ring, but unlike most documentaries about the LHC, it will take place mostly above ground!
While working towards his film degree in 2008, Bram Conjaerts won an award at...

Do you really exist or are you just teasing us?
In theory I exist, no direct evidence of my existence has been found, however I am predicted to exist with the current Standard Model. In order to work with the Standard Model, I have to be pretty massive, and it’s just a matter of being able to put an enormous amount of energy into a collision to find me. The LHC at CERN should have that...

Fermilab 'closing in' on the God particle →
Honestly, I’m not trying to play hide-and-seek with you! Those guys at Fermi might actually find me before CERN does.
