High energy physics entertainment

Here's a few fun and entertaining tidbits about high energy physics.

Higgs Boson Soon? Place Your Bets

Over the past few weeks, rumors of a recent Higgs boson discovery have spread rapidly across the internet. If you believe the rumors, there's a good chance that LHC scientists will announce strong evidence (or maybe even a discovery) of the much hyped "God particle" at an upcoming high energy physics conference in early July.

We don't know what's going to happen in July, but we do know what could happen. Thanks to Physics Central's handy Baryon Solenoid/Metric Tachyon Energy Radiometer (BSMeTER), we can predict the likelihood of what might happen at an upcoming press conference.
