I had no idea. Quite interesting and yes, it seems that fits Sharpton to a “t”. Thank you for the information. And I will not ever admit I first read Higgs Bosom.

Oh a rock a my soul, in the boson of Abraham... oops now THAT would be a place to use bosom.

Scientists named the silly particle after a physics researcher that was a contemporary of Albert Einstein. His last name was Bose, like the loudspeakers. So scientists got the name boson for certain odd particles found in nature, and nobody else heard or cared about it until the research announcement of last week when it was proven that this Higgs boson, that the theoretical scientists expected to exist, really does exist. It’s an itty bitty bump in the data, but they have calculated that they can be something like 99% sure it’s genuine.

I wish the science that went into this case was as meticulous. Too often it seems to be a process of marking with chalk and cutting with an axe.
