We are going to get an addition to Fermi. A straight accelerator is going through DuPage, IL. Imagine the fun trying to find out how that is going to fit in all this congestion! I'll find some more info...

Physicists believe that Higgs particles generate a kind of soupy ether through which other particles move, picking up drag that translates into mass on the macroscopic scale. The Higgs is the cornerstone of 21st-century physics; it simply has to be there, otherwise the standard model of the universe collapses.

I haven't kept up with the literature on the Higgs particle, but from what they're saying, if it isn't found, the consequences will be enormous. Ths standard model seems to have painted itself into a corner.
