At first, I thought the title said “bison.” LOL

Many years ago, I would have understood what you were talking about. Now I just want you damned kids to ...

Getting old is no fun, but it beats the alternative.

Thanks BenLurkin!

*PING* to the others and anyone else interested (who’s got the Physics Ping list?)

Well I’m prob lost at sea here but I alway wonder if something that cannot sustain it’s energy and mass and disintegrates, effectively giving the impression of disappearing is the explanation behind a ghost.

I am prob way off but that is how I kind of understand this Higgs Boson thing.

This an excellent piece of work...

Particularly since they, basically, went deep into the millions of terabytes of data laying dormant in the LHC boneyard and laid the groundwork for some exciting future studies now that the LHC is up & running again...

This is similar to what still happens from deep dives into the previously-collected mountains of Hubble telescope data...

Then there is the JWST data that is now being collected at such a rate and detail that much of it will still be getting analyzed and published and/or used for Doctoral theses 10 years from now...

I guess that the DUNE experiment will, in a few years, be in the same type of position and start a deluge of exciting papers on neutrinos...

I'm the higgmeister.   I can tell you all about the Higgs Boss, son.

There is still so much to learn about the subatomic universe

"physicists have predicted that when pairs of heavy vector bosons Z or W are produced, typical restrictions at high energies would be violated, unless a Higgs boson was contributing to the production of these pairs"

This is remindful of one of the lesser-known comments from Einstein: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
