I am staring at a tube sock with wonder picking it up and
dropping it over and over again. I look
over at my cat, seemingly glued to the bed and I marvelat her. “Did they find the Higgs Boson today?” I coo
to my kitty. This is a moon landing
moment. It took decades of research from
the finest minds in the world on top of billions of dollars of research but we
now know exactly how gravity and mass work.
Something that we had previously taken for granted.
I can only imagine the kind of tantalizing research that
this discovery will yield. Will we find
ways to manipulate the bosons, making objects lighter or heavier? Will we be able to make flying cars that
cruise through fields of Higgs particles?
I don’t know but I can’t wait to find out!
A thought occurs to me.
This is a giant leap for mankind because it explains exactly how Neil
Armstrong’s giant leap worked!
