Higgs boson

Germany is an hour ahead of GMT. The time zone is CET: Central European Time, and it seems to encompass most of Europe.


I found out yesterday that Peter Higgs, who theorised the Higgs Boson (which is yet to be discovered, but if it ever is, it will validate the Standard Model), is an emeritus professor here at U. of Edinburgh. Apparently he's about 84. Apparently he still comes in from time to time to do his work. How cool is that! There are probably times this year I've been in the same building as Higgs!

That is probably not as exciting to any of you, but wow. I had no idea he was even Scottish.
