A well known scientist walks in, creating a disturbance as he moves across the room, and attract[s] a cluster of admirers with each step. This increase[s] his resistance to movement, in other words, he acquires mass, just like a particle moving through the Higgs field. If a rumour crosses the room, it creates the same kind of clustering, but this time among the scientists themselves. In this analogy, these clusters are the Higgs particles.”</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Alternatively, you can head over to <a href="http://vimeo.com/41038445">PhD Comics</a> to watch their explanatory animation. </p> </blockquote>http://kkdump.tumblr.com/post/26471805160http://kkdump.tumblr.com/post/26471805160Tue, 03 Jul 2012 21:33:01 -0700physicsparticle physicshiggsmass<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3pp2kXsko1qasuh3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://uchicagoadmissions.tumblr.com/post/26268150659/chicago-thunderstorm" class="tumblr_blog">uchicagoadmissions</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Chicago Thunderstorm!</p></blockquote>http://kkdump.tumblr.com/post/26304705194http://kkdump.tumblr.com/post/26304705194Sun, 01 Jul 2012 15:58:01 -0700chicagothunderstorm<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Hqxg5WIFAdQ?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Hitler Learns the Tevatron Has Been Shut Down</p>http://kkdump.tumblr.com/post/26282034710http://kkdump.tumblr.com/post/26282034710Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:44:27 -0700hitlertevetronfermilabus science policyhigh energy physicshiggs boson<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4e7yhvJRf1rof9kmo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://kkdump.tumblr.com/post/26171311961http://kkdump.tumblr.com/post/26171311961Fri, 29 Jun 2012 15:57:26 -0700galaxysimulation<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rFqNh-hxme8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>This is some really cool stuff.
