When the collective international efforts of mankind came together and advanced our scientific knowledge of the universe. We have discovered the Higgs Boson particle. As members of an awesome science fiction MMO, we must take the time to properly acknowledge the awesomeness of what humanity has acheieved today:

When your grandchildren ask you where you were when the Higgs Boson discovery was announced, you must tell them, "I was out destroying internet spaceships, and it was good". That is all.

Whenever my research team needs more funding we also "discover" something, anything. In fact we never discover anything until we're low on funding.

Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: the Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Reason #6,825 to crack open a beer right there people!

Just think about it. Without a Higgs Boson I would not have this frosty beer in my hand.

Should there be a Higgs Boson beer?

Here's a challenge...
100M ISK for the person who explains the Higgs boson and field well enough for 50% of the world to understand.

Yes, that would be a Nobel in itself, but I'm poor.

Yeah. Hardcore religious people claimed that when the LHC was switched on, it would create a black hole that would instantly destroy the planet.

Those crazies will come up with any excuse to keep us all in the dark ages.

It happens just 100m under my feet, and yes this incredible moment is another big step to our comprehension of the Universe and our place, another step to make of ignorance a myth along with the mighty economical primordial model of ours. It's a matter of time, but it will die because there's no other way for our civilisation to survive and accomplish the greatest saga of humanity, space colonisation.

We had about 1000 years science stagnation because of ignorance and wars, 800 years of stagnation because of obscurantism and religion, we're making so much scientific progress since 200 years I can not believe we will not be colonising space in about 300 years.

I'll be saying to y grand children, if my bones ever get there "you're living my dream, let me talk to you about internet and serious spaceships business"

Lol
