California. Trust me, the teachers were strict as fuck. And wouldn't let us do shit, the stories made up by the way...

haha yeah, perhaps I didn't explain what I meant properly - in 4-5 years musicstores, like the one I work in, will probably be 70% gone, meaning less places to work, for folks like me.
but yes, right! The music industry stands unharmed.

I thought that the ring was a sentient being that gave powers based on the personality of the people who wore it.

Collider sensors have been around since the first colliders in the 70s so we can see these collisions with relative ease. The problem is that there are so many collisions that we have to sort through each one to see if a Higgs Boson was produced. Basically the odds of a Higgs Boson produced in a collision is about a trillion to one, but so far the LHC has done about 100 trillion collisions. As the previous comment states it gets so much data from these collisions it would be impossible to store it long term so it relies first on a supercomputer to almost instantaneously throw out inconclusive data, but still leaving a lot to be sorted through manually by scientists. So the biggest thing isn't even producing the boson since probability states it will be produced, it's just showing it was produced and that means finding a collision where a particle resulting from a collision has more mass than the particles entering the collision, proving that a disruption in the Higgs field resulted a new boson. I could get into bosons and fermions, then quarks and gluons but there's a character limit. Yeah particle physics is pretty fucking awesome. Fucking Science Channel marathons.

Indeed, the higgs hasnt been oberserved directly, it actually goes as far as that some outcomes of the particles it can decay into cannot be observed either.

What they look for are pattern, specific quanta of energy that matches that of the higgs, basically they know what they need to create it and they know the math behind how its created so when they do they runs they're checking if the number they're getting match up with the ones they've calculated

I'm not offended by it, why should I be? My comment is stating opinion, it's not the same as being offended.
...are you offended by my comment, anon?

So that's what you've been up to Lambda!

MFW when they never showed Jeremys virtual form.

MFW your face

it's only because I had nothing better to do that I get that reference.

He's also walking badly, but I'm sure someone's already made that joke.
