Speaking of Higgs Boson..

Discovering the higgs boson through meta-analysis of the available data. As a heads up, this article is a touch heavy on the math.

Sometimes one has to step back and see the grand picture on what this all means... Theoretical physics and physics in general. We and everything we know are made up of these tiny tiny things. Physicists have come up with theories and have made more and more powerful machines to be able to find the answer to what our parameters are; where is the ball park, how big is it, can it be manipulated, can we go out on the field, can we get out of the ballpark, etc.. Such a crazy idea to think how this all formed, and billions are spent each year to come that much closer to the truth. And even crazier, these little particles of truth are not even particles; they're some sort of mix of a tangible particle and a spread of energy and occupies a multiple number of locations depending how and when you look at it - which is even crazier!

For example, this changes the way I think of photosynthesis, light, electrons, quantum physics, and life: Quantum Biology.
GREAT ARTICLE and simple to read. Extolling the virtues of green tea and free-radicals.
