I have been doing some research on what it would mean to discover the

positive discovery of any particle over about 100 GeV would be
immediately accorded the discovery of the Higgs particle.

<<...it is possible to derive the Cooper-pair mass with a very
high precision, knowing that it consists of two elementary
charges. The most accurate measurement to date was performed
at Stanford in 1989 using a Niobium superconductor with a
very surprising result: the Cooper-pair mass derived was
larger by 84 ppm compared to twice the free-electron mass
(Tate et al, 1989, Tate et al, 1990). The theoretical
analysis predicted a Cooper-pair mass 8 ppm smaller than
the free-electron mass including relativistic corrections.
Several efforts were published in the last 15 years that
investigated additional correction factors  (Liu, 1998, Jiang
and Liu, 2001). However, the discrepancy  between measurement
and theoretical prediction remained unsolved. >>http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.3806

Sue, you little devil. Why do you taunt these guys this way. Is it a
sexual thing and you haven't got a mate? Nobody to ding your bell
except yourself? Thats really sad. Have you considered lowering you
standards for a mate?

For other readers, the Higgs Boson is a hypothetical creation, sort of
a mathematical abstraction. If the measurements and assumptions are
correct (very slight chance), then the Higgs may or may not exist.
Likely science will know if the Higgs exists or doesn't. somewhere
during the next 30 years. Anybody know what the Las Vergas odds are
today?

Now by the time that a determination about whether the Higgs Boson is
reality, I'll be dead, and likely either Sue will be dead as well, or
living in a nursing home.

Given those facts, who really gives a flying *** about the Higgs
Boson?
