Sometimes it's a good idea to find out what the press is so desparately trying to say through its strangely inarticulate stammering. The next post called Higgs boson 12345 has five takes on the Higgs Boson, the god particle that Ian Murray posted on. Here is the introduction blurb:

Higgs Boson: One page explanation

In 1993, the UK Science Minister, William Waldegrave, challenged physicists to produce an answer that would fit on one page to the question 'What is the Higgs boson, and why do we want to find it?'

The winning entries taken from Physics World Volume 6 Number 9, were by:

* Mary & Ian Butterworth and Doris & Vigdor Teplitz

* Roger Cashmore

* David Miller

* Tom Kibble

* Simon Hands
