[Physics] has a reputation for being extremely complicated, but sometimes the simplest questions that lead to truly profound and obvious insights. When Einstein asked himself, What would happen if you could ride on a beam of light? for example, the answer led him to the Special Theory of Relativity. He concluded that the speed of light was constant.
Taylor Momsen was touring with her band The Pretty Reckless and they stopped on the side of the road so some of the band members could relieve themselves. One of the band members, the drummer Jonathan Burger, was the nephew of physicist Alfred Gordowksi of the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York. Gordowski with the ATLAS experiment, one of two independent teams that had been looking for the Higgs boson at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva.
Taylor went into the building to get warm and saw something strange glowing in the corner. The drummer called his uncle, who came right away with his team. They studied the glow for the last six months and made the major announcement yesterday we have found the God particle!
Gordowski was joined in Camden by other prominent physicists from around as they announced Tuesday they found definitive proof of the particle that is believed to be a basic component of the universe.
Of course the universe began in New Jersey, said Governor Chris Christie. ...
Some physicists speculate that Albert Einstein moved to New Jersey (he was a professor at Princeton) because he had an idea that the God particle was in New Jersey. He just was in the wrong city," Christie said.

God Particle Tax introduce in NJ Congress.
What’s todays date?
Peter Higgs hates the term “God particle”. Probably because he’s an atheist, but I hate it for a different reason. It has nothing to do with God. It was coined as a joke for a book title.
Yikes. Compared to him I almost physically fit.
Is Higgs the one who owns a yacht with a famous boatswain? :=)
Darn. I was hoping for an “after” picture as well!
What I find so interesting is that this article came out on

Easter Sunday! God is Alive! Even is NJ it seems.
Who says there is nothing smaller if and when they find that Higgs boson? At one point in time the lowly mite was considered the smallest thing known—that was before the discovery of the microscope.

Yes because musicians always travel in stage attire. They never wear regular clothes.
Happy Easter you fools
I don’t know about New Jersey, but in L A that IS street clothes.

Famous? He can’t be that famous if everyone just knows him as Higgs’ boatswain. I don’t think anyone’s even seen him for certain.
LEGIT!
She should have left that glow alone.
Hang on to your hats, boys and girls!
"Finding the 'God' particle could destroy the universe," warns Stephen Hawking
"If scientists put too much energy in the Higgs boson the universe could end."

My bad.
Can I have it back now?

With all due respect to the Garden State, I found the statement that the band stopped by the side of the road to relieve themselves more important.
The glowing light was probably created by something I left by the side of the road there many years ago.
New Jersey is frequently the site of godly deposits by travelers passing through.
