BOSOMS BROTHERLY LOVE AND PHYSICS: A DIALOGUE (SORT OF) BUT NOT SORDID

LITTLE BROTHER:
“i shall keep abreast of this *news!”
HERE IS THE *news MENTIONED ABOVE:

Higgs boson, aka, the "God particle" is a subatomic particle that is presumed to bestow mass on all other particles. An internal note from physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland has scientists buzzing.
http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2011/0425/Higgs-boson-Was-the-God-particle-foundHiggs boson: Was the 'God particle' found?
A rumor is floating around the physics community that the world's largest atom smasher may have detected a long-sought subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, also known as the "God particle."
The controversial rumor is based on what appears to be a leaked internal note from physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 17-mile-long particle accelerator near Geneva, Switzerland. It's not entirely clear at this point if the memo is authentic, or what the data it refers to might mean — but the note already has researchers talking.
Some physicists say the note may be a hoax, while others believe the "detection" is likely a statistical anomaly that will disappear upon further study. But the find would be a huge particle-physics breakthrough, if it holds up.
"If it were to be real, it would be really exciting," said physicist Sheldon Stone of Syracuse University.
Hunting for the Higgs
The Higgs boson is predicted to exist by prevailing particle-physics theory, which is known as the Standard Model. Physicists think the Higgs bestows mass on all the other particles — but they have yet to confirm its existence.
Huge atom smashers — like the LHC and the Tevatron, at Fermilab in Illinois — are searching for the Higgs and other subatomic bits of matter. These accelerators slam particles together at enormous speeds, generating a shower of other particles that could include the Higgs or other elemental pieces predicted by theory but yet to be detected.

The leaked note suggests that the LHC's ATLAS particle-detection experiment may have picked up a signature of the elusive Higgs. The signal is consistent, in mass and other characteristics, with what the Higgs is expected to produce, according to the note.
However, some other aspects of the signal don't match predictions.
"Its production rate is much higher than that expected for the Higgs boson in the Standard Model," Stone told SPACE.com in an email interview. So the signal may be evidence of some other particle, Stone added, "which in some sense would be even more interesting, or it could be the result of new physics beyond the Standard Model."
Too soon to tell
Stone was quick to point out that the note is not an official result of the ATLAS research team. Therefore, speculating about its validity or implications is decidedly preliminary.
"It is actually quite illegitimate and unscientific to talk publicly about internal collaboration material before it is approved," Stone said. "So this 'result' is not a result until the collaboration officially releases it."

Other researchers joined Stone in urging patience and caution before getting too excited about the possible discovery.

BIG BROTHER:
“You may not have to remain abreast of this news---once announced, it will be nippling across all media sources.”

BIG BROTHER:
“…nippling across in place of rippling across....”


“Well, pappy, nipple as a verb? I thought it was "udderly" untrue, but it wasn't. This from the Urban Dictionary”:
Nipple:
as a verb: to grab and tug a nipple, especially through clothing, especially roughly; in bdsm, a common way to find out if the girl you're making out with is really a sub or just playing in the scene.
I was making out with Megan and I nippled her real good while we were kissing; she started humping my leg so I knew she was one of us.

BIG BROTHER:
“It appears you have missed the latest theoretical update from CERN.
The search now centers on finding the Hugless Bosom particle.
It puts cleavage in all the standard model particle theories.”

LITTLE BROTHER:
“I know about cleavage, and, i actually was a devil's advocate with tongue-in-cheek because i know that the search is on for Mr. Bosom...I mean Miss Bosom. i learned about this when i watched the Colbert Report (one of my favorite shows) on Comedy Central.”

BIG BROTHER:
“The discovery will no doubt become a bust for the noble prize in physics!”

“aCtUaLLy, i am also familiar with how to find Pi (Personal information)... and my ESP powersssssss are an enormous benefit (i don't own a cell phone!). YeS...BeWaRe...Be aFrAiD cOmRadE.”

BIG BROTHER:
“I have never succeeded in finding the end of Pi, except in a banana Pi.”

LITTLE BROTHER:
“cLeVeR! Nay...iNGENious! aNd you're even not Pie-eyed! But what about the Higgs Boson particle! Let's find it, dammit!”

Beautiful!
Night or Day, Day or Night
The Bosom Sheds her Light
And Delivers Delight!
