Allan Powell: Maryland plays a role in physics study
It would be interesting to know how many citizens of Maryland are aware of an experiment made in 1975-76, over a five-month period, to verify (or falsify) a prediction made by Albert Einstein about his theory of gravity. This experiment was directed by...Tags: Applied Physics, Science, Manhattan (New York City), Albert Einstein, U.S. Navy

Big guy or the big bang?
KIAHWho created the universe, The Big Guy or the Big Bang? Three thousand scientists in Geneva Switzerland believe they will soon be able to prove the Big Bang explosion did occur. The proof they need is called the "God Particle." So far they've only...Tags: Cosmology, Science, Geneva (Swiss Confederation), Swiss Confederation

'God Particle:' Scientists Narrow the Hunt for Long Sought Higgs Boson
ReutersGENEVA -- International scientists said on Tuesday they had found signs of the Higgs boson, an elementary sub-atomic particle believed to have played a vital role in the creation of the universe after the Big Bang. Peter Higgs, the 82-year-old British...Tags: Applied Physics, Cosmology, Large Hadron Collider Experiments, Science, Stephen Hawking

12/21/2011-A Physicist's Christmas
The Higgs boson will never take the place of Jesus in popular culture, although it makes for fun cartoons. I do find the scientific search for God to be interesting. I believe in God and I believe in Christ consciousness, but the details of my beliefs are...Tags: Steve Jobs

So close to the God particle: Scientists say 'stay tuned'
World NowPhysicists have detected hints of the long-sought Higgs boson but have not yet amassed enough data for definitive proof of discovery of the so-called God particle, scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, said Tuesda... -
The quest for the 'God particle': Tiny matter, big cliffhanger
World NowGod particle quest: It’s a cliffhanger as scientists say they haven’t seen the Higgs boson, or God particle -- yet... -
Large Hadron Collider made with Legos, and other geeky creations
TechnologyUsing Legos, Sascha Mehlhase, a physicist based in Copenhagen, has built a 1:50 scale replica of the ATLAS detector, which is part of the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator.... -
Fine line
Change of SubjectNot only do the electrons smash into each other, they have struck the physicists' funny bone. As it says (in the New York Times)... "It has led to a joke in physics circles now: The the Higgs boson (particle) has...... -
Neutrinos faster than the speed of light? Not so fast ...
World NowBack in September, a group of physicists working at the OPERA experiment at Italy’s Gran Sasso Laboratory astounded the scientific world by clocking neutrinos, a type of subatomic particle, that seemed to travel faster than the speed of light. It... -
Could you explain the Higgs boson for me again slowly, please?
When a beat reporters go to work, they know what they’ll be covering: courts, crime, city hall, etc. General assignment reporters like me know one thing: each day will be different than the last.
My recent subjects have ranged from mobile homes to...Tags: Mass Media, John Dillinger, Facebook, Weaponry

Quarks and quantum quirks
While reading a book on contemporary physics some time ago, I realized that attempting to comprehend it was like trying to floss the teeth of a flea.
Underwater.
While drunk.
With broken fingers.
And blindfolded.
I managed to finish the book, but the...Tags: Applied Physics, Poetry, Emily Dickinson, Science, Robert Frost
