Higgs Boson

Yes, I attended the, CCS Discusion Last nights on What is Really going on?by Andre Croucamp, Yes they did discuss Neuroscience and  our perception of the world. Yes this is why I was laughing. Sorry seriose scientists. 

For those of you who dont read the News : The Higgs Boson
The Higgs boson is named after Peter Higgs who, along with two other teams, proposed the mechanism that suggested such a particle in 1964.^[4][5][6] The existence of the Higgs boson and the associated Higgs field would be the simplest^[7] of several methods to explain why some other elementary particles have mass. According to this theory, other elementary particles obtain mass by interacting with the Higgs field which has non-zero strength everywhere, even in otherwise empty space. The Higgs boson—the smallest possible excitation of this field—is predicted to exist by the same theory, and as this would be detectable, it has been the target of a long search in particle physics.( Thankyou Wikipedia )
