Also, my sound has cut out a while back. I think they did that because sometimes the sound comes in really loud and they'll probably re-establish an audio stream when we approach the announcement.

I am pretty stoked for this. I am just a big huge science nerd and stuff like this gets me hyped up.

I wonder what everyone actually does on their laptops while waiting.

Upon further inspection this is a regularly scheduled research update. OP is a little overblown. But I'll stick it out for funsies.

this would be even more hilarious if it turned out that the announcement actually did kill physics (or I guess our notion of physics >.<)

Maybe this is all a sham put together by Apple to sell more Macs? =)

"We the physicists at CERN have not discovered the Higgs, but instead have discovered something much more important. That is that Macs are the greatest thing created as quantifiable by science and therefore all of you should own one..."

Well according to Wired, "Rumors have been flying for weeks already on what the LHC has found, with most pointing to a discovery of the Higgs boson with a mass of 125 gigaelectronvolts (GeV)."

Yeah, I'm really excited but I hope that I haven't over-reacted. I've found a few reputable news sites that state that there was a 'leak' which said that this would be a 'discovery' announcement.

Imagine that guy was reading TL.net???

Most of them have Macs, sooo.....browse iTunes? Check their Facebook? Watch a movie trailer on Quicktime? Oh, they can play The Sims. Yes. That must be it. I pretty much covered all possibilities.

but does it change the physics we know of?

at most it will correct the physics we know of

simply by adding something to the equations can change things in many ways though.

but dont worry, unless its a black hole opened somewhere on earth you wont be drifting into space anytime soon

The Boson itself has mass? That sounds incredibly weird... What give IT its mass then?
