While most of reddit does about the Higgs Bosen, there are still a bunch of people that about the Higgs Bosen. You cant just about the while community. When I about the Higgs Bosen I it was a big deal, and will the way we the universe.

I just went and researched it. Found something that said it was the "non-technical explanation"....still don't understand.

Higgs Boson explains why things have mass, or so I've heard. The article I've read didn't say much

My ex is a total physics junky. A while back he explained the Higgs Boson particle to me. I found the idea fascinating. Just a few weeks ago we actually had a long discussion about what it's discovery could mean and what could be done with it. This mostly involved me coming up with ways to rip buildings out of the ground and drop them on top of other buildings. It was a very non sciencey discussion, but I was immensely entertained.

So even though I understand very little of the science speak, I understand the basic idea of the particle and have for a little while. And I'm glad he told me about it because it allowed me to enjoy today's news without having to try and figure out what the hell was going on.

Oddly enough, he also explained to me last night what Magic Mike is, so now I know what everyone has been on about since last Friday.

Whether or not people understand the nitty gritty physics is irrelevant.

I, for one, am thrilled about the fact that so many people, who otherwise wouldn't be, are excited about science.

Isn't this from one of the top comments of a recent post on r/pics about Higgs's smirk?

I read up on this Higgs Boson, and I still don't understand it.

I click links so fast i didn't even notice the title was messed up, it looked fine before i really stopped to look at it. The perceived message got through to me, despite it making zero sense.

How can you expect to understand science if you can't even remember to put the verb in your title?

Cormasaurus · 2 months

I think you accidentally a word.

Kakoose · 2 months

FUCK BRAIN FUCK NOW TITLE

d0peamine · 2 months

Poor title - whatever. The way I see it, they should be excited, regardless of whether or not they fully understand it. And the fact that they are is good news for science as a whole.

Well, to be fair you have to be a huge nerd to know who the guy is. Still, I heard is a pretty revolutionary thingy.

ConspiracyNutt · 2 months

Yep thats how they want you to feel. In fact, they even tell you what to think, "As a layman I would say, I think we have it! You agree?".

Then they say, "The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to more detailed studies, requiring larger statistics," What exactly are larger statistics? Oh yea, more money. Which is fine, we'll keep selling them the hardware to come up with impractical and worthless theories. As long as they keep churning out hits like the World Wide Web.

Does it concern anyone that they can shoot beams of radiation through mountain ranges at this thing? What's to stop them from shooting a beam right at me for example? Maybe this would explain why my internet has been acting funny ever since i started talking shit about this.

Not sure if upvoting because it relates to me, or because I like Friends.

A lot of people who frequent Reddit think they are part of some young, intellectual, progressive force which is bringing in the future, a fantastic SF-esque utopia where the ignorant are punished and they will rise to the top of society. In fact they are just a bunch of people who know nothing about nothing and won't ever amount to anything because they just look at pictures of cats all day. There are people out there trying to discover the Higgs boson and you cannot even understand why because you are too busy looking at pictures of cats. This post celebrates the ignorance of the average Redditor; so much for intellectual elite.

halftone84 · 2 months

You got the first part right, I have no idea what's going on, but I'm not excited by it.

Title too confusing but great gif anyway

howajo · 2 months

I'm fairly ignorant of this field, but I see room for exciting implications. If the Higgs Boson's interactions with the rest of matter determine mass, then learning to manipulate it would seem to have exciting implications in velocity and acceleration manipulation. Maybe understanding this lets us manipulate matter to approach (or even exceed the speed of light), maybe it gives us anti-gravity technology. Maybe we learn to curve space and make velocity and distance irrelevant. It's early, and I'm grasping in the dark, but the little I understand is exciting.

Even with the smallish amount of information I have about it, I am excited as poop.

Just knowing the basic idea of what it means is mindblowingly cool to me.

Doesn't Higgs Boson play for the Yankees?

shadowmask · 2 months

Strange. I know exactly what's going on and I'm not excited at all. Maybe I'm just in a weird mood but I think we should double check.

Are you thin and short?

Are you wearing green pants and a blue sweater?

Are you black with light hair?

Are you wearings socks/shoes?

Are you standing on your ceiling?

Are you floating in the Indian ocean between Australia and the Kerguelen Islands?

Over the last day or so there has been plenty of good, not-to-difficult to understand explanations here on Reddit and all over the media. Anybody who wanted to learn more about the basics has had plenty of opportunity to do so.

dipset33 · 2 months

I couldn't care less about a Higgs Boson. Its discovery isn't going to decrease unemployment, solve any world crises or end poverty for at least another century. It means nothing to me and the majority of the world.
