Scientists at Cern will announce that the elusive Higgs boson 'God Particle' has been found at a press conference next week, it is believed.
Five leading theoretical physicists have been invited to the event on Wednesday - sparking speculation that the particle has been discovered.
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider are expected to say they are 99.99 per cent certain it has been found - which is known as 'four sigma' level

The particle accelerator: It is within these tubes that physicists are hunting for the 'God' particle.

Peter Higgs, the Edinburgh University emeritus professor of physics that the particle is named after, is among those who have been called to the press conference in Switzerland.

The management at Cern want the two teams of scientists to reach the 'five sigma' level of certainty with their results - so they are 99.99995 per cent sure - such is the significance of the results.
Tom Kibble, 79, the emeritus professor of physics at Imperial College London, has also been invited but is unable to attend.
He told the Sunday Times: 'My guess is that is must be a pretty positive result for them to be asking us out there.'
The Higgs boson is regarded as the key to understanding the universe. Physicists say its job is to give the particles that make up atoms their mass.
Without this mass, these particles would zip though the cosmos at the speed of light, unable to bind together to form the atoms that make up everything in the universe, from planets to people.
The collider, housed in an 18-mile tunnel buried deep underground near the French-Swiss border, smashes beams of protons – sub-atomic particles – together at close to the speed of light, recreating the conditions that existed a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.

If the physicists’ theory is correct, a few Higgs bosons should be created in every trillion collisions, before rapidly decaying.

When they find the so called "God particle", let them create their own realm!

They should have just asked the Klingons Nicely

All these oyinbo sef, u ppl r lookin for god particle abi!!!, na devil particle una go find, by dat time 'had I known' na wetin u go dey talk.

Nice development...

God particle is a misnomer. Higgs boson will do.


One more victory for Humanity!!!!!

I hope this will also help in discovering exactly what was pre-BiG B.AN.G

dis oyinbo people self with their unending quest for acquiring knowledge, i fear go destroy something big in dis earth one day

Klingons drool, Romulans rule!

This is BIG NEWS!

I will only get excited about this 'god' particle after scientists can tell me how the first such particle originated. When they find the creator of this first particle, then I will be excited for them.

Unfortunately, what these scientists have been looking for recides within they themselves but they will never look there. Freaking Kafiris and Atheists

Finding this particle is may be the biggest scientific discovery of this century. I do not think some of you realize the enormity of this discovery.

The Higgs finding could help us predict how much dark matter is in the universe and the Higgs particle may also offer an answer to how particles acquire mass.

I think this article should be placed on the homepage. This is big news for the scientific community.

Can't you find it for them?

Bloody hypocrites. When the benefits of that discovery becomes apparent to you, you will be the first to celebrate it.

The same dunder-head peeps Jesus warned his flock of -Christians! a lying bunch of religious clots

i worked on this project and im not an aethist. For me its more about understanding our world than saying where it came from.
