The Nobel prize for physics is as much of a disappointment this year as the peace prize.
The committee have awarded Peter Higgs for the prediction of his eponymous particle that "confers mass on matter"
Well, actually the results show a "particle", in an energy range that did not correspond to Higgs' first choice of ballpark figures and that has no recognised function. This is like awarding an explorer who declared himself to be looking for Yeti as the greatest Yeti hunter who ever found an ant-hill. There is no Yeti as yet but there is definitely a bump full of something.
So, the big question is: What are Higgs' Bosons made of? What is this "particle" and how can such a thing confer mass by making the things that contain it stick more strongly to the magical Higgs Field? BOGUS!
I can't believe in this stuff any more! I was such an avid science freak and wolfed all this sort of thing down as gospel but now I look upon it all with pity for a bunch of misguided and short-sighted people who are too busy slapping their own backs to see the real world.
We have physicists jumping up and down and peeing in their pants because of a data blip. All of the math that was done since 1926 is wrong! The first term of the first line of Einstein's equation was WRONG! DELTA T is BOGUS!!! There ain't no frikkin delta in t, get used to it!
