The Higgs Bosom

All the papers and news are full with reports about the “discovery” of the Higgs bosom.

I don’t understand it. Not at all.

First, it’s not like Rebekah Higgs was particularly hiding her bosom.

Second, and no offence to Ms Higgs, what is so particular about her bosom?

  1. Andreas! Fix the tag for “bosom” :)

    The Higgs Particle is definitely a “BOSON” (not a bosom !!) Boson means that it follows the Bose-Einstein-Statistics, and virtually many equal of these particles can condense into a so-called Bose-Einstein-Condensate (like water, that condenses into drops/cristalls/ice particles/Ice mountains). The opposite are Fermions, which can not condense, but stay seperate from each other. Bosons are like dogs, who like to form a big gang. Fermions are like cats, which keep distant from each other.
    In particular the Higgs bosons seem to condense such way that they form macroscopic massive aggregates, which I described recently are a major problem for some people (http://persian-cat.de/?p=2100).
