The Higgs boson is affectionately known as the "God particle", but not in the way you might hope.

It would be nice "n" tidy if they do. Apparently if they find the Higgs boson, it will finally mean that they can tie up both the rules which govern quantum physics and our understanding of physics for the bigger stuff like how gravity relates to planetary movement.
If they can also create a small black hole which accidentally sucks up Tom Cruise, Vladimir Putin, Robert Mugabe and any other human waste I can think of, that would be something of a bonus!
