The gigantic accelerator in Europe has produced hints of an exotic particle that defies the known laws of physics.
A little wiggle on a graph, representing just a handful of particles, has set the world of physics abuzz. Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland, the largest particle accelerator on Earth, reported yesterday that their machine might have produced a brand new particle not included in the established laws of particle physics known as the Standard Model. Their results, based on the data collected from April to November after the LHC began colliding protons at nearly twice the energy of its previous runs, are too inconclusive to be sure—many physicists warned that the wiggle could just as easily represent a statistical fluke. Nevertheless, the finding has already spawned at least 10 new papers in less than a day proposing a theoretical explanation for the particle, and has the halls and blackboards of physics departments around the world churning....

It’s the Obamatron - no charge, no mass, no charm, no substance, lies at the speed of light.
I vote we reverse time back to November 3, 2008.
That’s funny!!
This begins the fundraiser for a new multibillion dollar particle accelerator.
It’s never very useful to spend much time scrutinizing a headline when there’s a story right there in front of you.
This is the insanity particle that has already become evident among the GOP in congress.
Fortunately potential invisible particle can show up whenever the budget demands.
