Higgs boson discovery rumours false, say Tevatron scientists (ARG!)

Rumours that the Higgs boson - sometimes called the 'God particle' - has been detected by the Tevatron particle accelerator have been denied.

A spokesman for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory told the Telegraph: "The rumour of evidence for the Higgs boson is just that: a rumour, with no factual basis.

"Beyond that, we don't comment on rumours."

***There is a certain amount of friendly rivalry between the two laboratories. While the director-general of CERN, Rolf-Dieter Heuer, says “[I don’t mind] who makes a discovery first. It is the science that counts”, Leon Lederman, a Nobel laureate in physics who has worked at both sites, says that if the Tevatron beats the LHC to the discovery, he will have mixed feelings. He said: “It would be a little like your mother-in-law driving off a cliff in your BMW.”****

An honest cientist with a sense of humor;) I like it.

Now, if only we could put him in charge of Climate research or Oil spillage.

Never mind all that - did they find any Lectroids from Planet 10? And where’s Dr. Emilio Lizardo?

[Clock King]

But if they discover it, doesn’t the planet implode or something like that? /sarc

[sodpoodle]

Yes.

In the loo.

You get 20 points for the obscure reference !

And where’s Dr. Emilio Lizardo?

That’s right. Laugh while you can, monkey boy.
