Higgs 'like a Boss'-on NOW WITH VIDEO

The Higgs Boson, or a particle demonstrating almost exactly what they were looking for when it was theorised, has been found. It's like some kind of fairytale dream. The particle that gives mass to all other particles is actually real.

Massive, massive congratulations to Higgs. It's a new age, where wars, and trials, and now science colloquiums, can be broadcast live, revealing the true amount of effort and emotion that this undertaking involved.
And I apologise for use of the slogan 'God particle'. I say slogan because it's a really, really silly way to try and understand the particle. Partly because, y'know, those overly enthused by the existence of God probably don't feel that we needed to find it in the first place. I'm being mean, of course, but 'God particle' is just a name, like the word 'God' itself. Except that this is real and here and 99.9999% proven to be one of the reasons why the universe works the way it does! Yeah!

Next: supersymmetry. Something I myself can barely spell.
