    (wir) Physiker nennen es Higgs-Boson.

    Der Elite der deutschen Journalisten ist das nicht spektakulär genug - und nennt es "Gottesteilchen"   und man ist DER WELTFORMEL nahe

    [wenn ich das lese, weiss ich schon genug über den Mangel im deutschen Bildungssytem, und dass es wohl gelingt in Negativ-Auslese dann noch die Unbegabtesten zu Jorunalisten umzufunktionieren - gut, ich kenne EINE gute freie Journalistin im Wissenschaftsbereich ...]

    Jedenfalls, gelingt es das Teilchen, das sich bisher gut versteckt hielt immer näher einzugrenzen.

    Vielleicht - und das ist nun Spekulatuion, die kürzlich durch das Netz geisterte, sind es Zwillinge.

    Gratulation dem CERN Team.

    ich weiss nicht wer das gesagt haben könnte; aber ich zitiere einfa"h;

    "Auf lange Sicht sind es die Naturwissenschaftler und Ingenieure, die die Welt verändern werden und nicht die Politiker. Gott sei Dank"  


    PS

    ich habe bewusst nur CERN verlinkt. Wie oben geschrieben: Sie Überschriftne in den deutschen on-line Medien sind nur blamable - und teilweise einfach falsch.

    Der Guardian bringt es auf den Punkt:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/shortcuts/2012/jul/04/how-explain-higgs-bo son-discovery

    The possible discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN [co.uk]is obviously of tremendous importance to our understanding of the universe, but how does one explain the Higgs boson [co.uk] to a layperson, a child, an idiot? A lot depends on who you're talking to, and what they want to hear. Just use this handy guide to selective explanation:

    For people you're trying to impress: "The Higgs boson is an elementary scalar particle first posited in 1962, as a potential byproduct of the mechanism by which a hypothetical, ubiquitous quantum field – the so-called Higgs field – gives mass to elementary particles. More specifically, in the standard model of particle physics [co.uk], the existence of the Higgs boson explains how spontaneous breaking of electroweak symmetry takes place in nature."

    For harassed, sleep-deprived parents: "If the constituent parts of matter were sticky-faced toddlers, then the Higgs field would be like one of those ball pits they have in the children's play area at IKEA. Each coloured plastic ball represents a Higgs boson: collectively they provide the essential drag that stops your toddler/electron falling to the bottom of the universe, where all the snakes and hypodermic needles are."

    For English undergraduates: "The Higgs boson (pronounced "boatswain") is a type of subatomic punctuation with a weight somewhere between a tiny semicolon and an invisible comma. Without it the universe would be a meaningless cloud of gibberish – a bit like The Da Vinci Code, if you read that."

    For teenagers studying A-level physics: "No, I know it's not an atom. I didn't say it was. Well, I meant a particle. Yes, I do know what electromagnetism is, thank you very much – unified forces, Einstein, blah blah blah, mass unaccounted for, yadda yadda, quarks, Higgs boson, the end. It was a long time ago, and I'm tired. Change the channel – we're missing Come Dine With Me."

    For a member of the Taxpayers' Alliance</a>: "Its discovery is a colossal, unprecedented, almost infinite waste of money."

    For a child in the back seat of a car: "It's a particle that some scientists have been looking for. Because they knew that without it the universe would be impossible. Because without it, the other particles in the universe wouldn't have mass. Because they would all continue to travel at the speed of light, just like photons do. Because I just said they would, and if you ask 'Why?' one more time we're not stopping at Burger King."

    For religious fundamentalists: "There is no Higgs boson."

    Interessant ist die Entdeckung auf jeden Fall! Ich finde Wissenschaft insgesamt sehr spannend. Am Liebsten für ich meinen Job in einem Büroservice Mannheim sofort [bueroserviceportal24.de] aufgebern und nur noch forschen. Aber ohne Geld kann man ja leider auch nicht leben.

    Man kann den Wissenschatlern nur zu dieser tollen und vermutlich sehr wertvollen Entdeckung nur gratulieren.

USA
All presidential, senatorial and house elections (including mid-term and most presidential primaries/caucusses) as well as important special and state elections.

UK
All national and state elections as well as important special, local and mayoral elections and votes.

Worldwide
National elections - including Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, etc.


Important elections in 2023

  • Several state elections in Germany and Austria
  • Presidential election in the Czech Republic
  • National elections in Finland, Turkey, Greece, Poland, Switzerland and Spain
