Hoping for Higgs: Scientists worldwide have been anticipating the Large Hadron Collider more keenly than a child waiting for Christmas after Santa announces he has a twin brother, and this year they're both giving presents.  You may have heard of this - you may even know they're after the Higgs boson - but for those of us without multiple PhDs, what does this thing actually do?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/02/the-search-for.html">Light moves so fast it took millennia for people to realise it moved at
all.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/02/the-search-for.html"> Over time we learned that light
actually moved, and after an awful lot of competing theories we found
out about the photon - the quanta of electromagnetism, the smallest
possible unit, the elementary particle that shuttled back and forth
conveying the effects of the electromagnetic field.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/02/the-search-for.html">Understanding the
photon revolutionized science, launching quantum theory into its
current position and resolved many of the age's impenetrable puzzles
while - in true scientific fashion - generating far more. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9D43D5D3-380E-4C6C-9DEF-7001077F9B4F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
