Careful, or they'll accuse you of talking bollocks too!

Same college as Minestrone I believe.

Most of them. Even some of the leading lights think the route is bogus. But that is the way to get grants in the current climate.

Think back to the days of Alchemy, the scientists were being paid to find ways to turn lead into gold, they did some proper science on the side. That's pretty much what's going off now.

Think on how we have 'the web' popping out of CERN, that kind of thing.

There's more: BBC News - US experiment hints at 'multiple God particles'

There may be multiple versions of the elusive "God particle" - or Higgs boson - according to a new study.

...Said Klaus Hindenburg from his luxury ski lodge on the Swiss/French border as he faxed his timesheet.

Can't blame 'em.

How many scientists think they are probably barking up the wrong tree but don't want to admit it whilst their contracts are consistently renewed every 6 months.

Someone is going to get rumbled soon.

God particle again

BBC News - God particle signal is simulated as sound

Their aim is to develop a means for physicists at Cern to "listen to the data" and pick out the Higgs particle if and when they finally detect it.

How many scientists think they are probably barking up the wrong tree but don't want to admit it whilst their contracts are consistently renewed every 6 months.

"If it's lots of energy it will be louder and if it's just a bit of energy it will be quieter."

Someone is going to get rumbled soon.
