Physicists Anxiously Await New Data on ‘God Particle’

From the December 11th New York Times. High noon is approaching for the biggest manhunt in the history of physics. At 8 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday morning, scientists from CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, are scheduled to give a progress report on the search for the Higgs boson — infamously known as the “God particle” — whose discovery would vindicate the modern theory of how elementary particles get mass.

(I will, obviously, be live blogging the event on Tuesday morning. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. I will also be answering questions about seasons two through four of “Saved By The Bell.”)
