British physicist Peter Higgs said on Monday it should soon be possible to prove the existence of a force which gives mass to the universe and makes life possible -- as he first argued 40 years ago.

This is going to be interesting here in the future...

The LHC in Cern is under assault by at least two phycisists who filed a lawsuit to stop it, claiming activating the experiment would cause the Earth's destruction.

This has been covered in the MSM, sorry I don't have links...

But, of course, two (admittedly) smart scientists have their opinion, against how many other very smart scientists?

Heck, even some nuclear scientists predicted the first A-bomb test would incite a 'chain-reaction' in the atmosphere and destroy the world...back in 1944....*sniff*...air seems to still be here....

[adding].....oops, I see there is another thread on this subject, at least, on the accelerator, the LHC already...perhaps this should be folded into that one?

Heh obviously not what they had in mind, but MAD would assure such a chain reaction =P

Interesting article. I read "The God Particle" by Lederman and found it a pretty fascinating read. I'm not so sure that the Higgs boson is that particle however.

I really won't be worried until they discover the true cause of gravity.
