Americans in the states know how important tomorrow is — it’s our annual celebration of independence, commemorated ironically with artificial meats and fireworks inspired by orients who originally had very little, if anything, to do with the founding of the land of the free.
But tomorrow may also go down in science history as being one of the most significant since the theory of relativity or newton’s laws of motions.
Physicists have been searching for the Higgs Boson particle, sometimes dubbed the God Particle for no other reason than journalists think it sounds cool, for close to fifty years.
It was originally postulated by Scottish physicist Peter Higgs that a particle exists which essentially gives all objects their mass, which in and of itself is such a mind blowing concept that it can only be explained through a series of analogies ranging from football fields to jars of honey.
For the BEST analogy that we could find to explain the potential discovery and the impact it will have on our scientific world (including those who have no idea what it is) we hand it over to Cara Santa Maria, the head science correspondent for the Huffington Post (and a great person to follow on Twitter I might add) for a better explanation.

Logan Huffman wants to know who is posting comments about him online and asks Jace for help. Meanwhile Joe Flanigan is caught again flirting in the V costume. Jace heads to the set of Law and Order: SVU to catch up with Ice – T and Coco and the Starcraft II team gets “rushed” by World of Warcraft Lead Designer, Jeff Kaplan.
Jace has decided to take advantage of his co-hosting duties at the Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire celebration, by showing his new music video to the thousands of EverQuest players in attendance, much to the dismay of the crowd. That didn’t stop one enthusiastic guest from doing something radical.
