Englert and Higgs wins Nobel prize in physics!

http://phys.org/news/2013-10-englert-higgs-nobel-physics-prize.html

Not a huge surprise but it sure took long enough!

A great disappointment. I was surely expecting to win it this year after missing out last year.

Why don't you make a hypothesis about the anti-Christ particle responsible for dark energy. Then when it is discovered you can have the prize.

Since the days of Tesla and Marconi and of course the more recent Obama peace prize, it bogles the mind as to why anyone places value on a Nobel prize of any kind!!!

" This work is entirely theoretical and has not been verified by observations. The Nobel Prize is usually awarded for discoveries and inventions, not unverified speculations."

"British physicist Stephen Hawking bet $100 against the Higgs being found.
{This is an important result and should earn Peter Higgs the Nobel Prize}, said Hawking."

...

Seriously, what I would like to see is this.
I would like to bring this discussion to life (instead of beeing a 'troll-thread'😉.
Breething some air to the fire - Making it cosy and warm - Think candles and a nice girl sitting next to you. Hugging you.

You seem to be on edge lately. Does is matter to you if I participate on the forums but not play chess anymore. If so send me a pm and we can discuss it further.

I'm always on edge, might fall off either way, not sure yet🙂

The last couple of nights I have lost a lot of sleep over the crap that is going on in the middle east, like the shooting of Malala and the Saudi who killed his 5 yo daughter because he thought she wasn't a virgin.

I was dreaming about ways to confront the Taliban. I would like to see ever ...[text shortened]... cremated. Bombing innocent school children, mainly girls for them daring to want an education.
