A Very Old One...

I'm going to have to add Higgs-Boson to the parish mailing list after today's news from CERN. After all, we can't have Mass without it...

Sorry. Couldn't resist...

  3. The deep-dark secret... The Higgs is only responsible for about 1% of the mass of normal matter (the rest is from the less famous chiral symmetry breaking...)

    So you could have 99% of a mass. For example, you could omit... the optional sign of peace?

  4. Brava, bravissima (to the MF)from up in the mountains near Bolzano, Italy. You people 'over there' in Blackfen are always ahead of the rest of us. We're still scratching our heads with hay forks.
