God particle or the end of the world? You decided
Haven't done the public posting of an interesting bit of science news in a while, so here ya go:
Key scientist sure "God particle" will be found soon
GENEVA (Reuters) - British physicist Peter Higgs said on Monday it should soon be possible to prove the existence of a force which gives mass to the universe and makes life possible -- as he first argued 40 years ago.

Higgs said he believes a particle named the "Higgs boson," which originates from the force, will be found when a vast particle collider at the CERN research centre on the Franco-Swiss border begins operating fully early next year.

Perhaps it is lofty to postulate this might hold the key to unlocking long distance faster than light space travel.....? Hmmmmm time will tell
