If only supercomputers were readily available when I took college-level astrophysics in the late '70s and early '80s, And with PanSTARRS 4.0 and the LSST coming on line soon with enormous amounts of information being amassed, collected & correlated as well as close scrutiny of the observations. The golden age of astronomy is upon us!

We should meet again, then, in one year and see what we have found! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIIIIEEEEE……

Peter Higgs even propsed the particle field as an anologue to superconductivity physics. The first physics with this characteristic was advanced by Pierre Curie as a way to understand phase transitions between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic properties of metals with temperature variation. So something at least similar to the Higgs field is likely to emerge.LC The Higss field/particle is related to criticality in physics that is pretty generic.

I'll bet what ever they do find will only open up a whole new class of particles to try and find and questions that blow every ones minds! Every time we find something new or answer a mystery, we have thousands more to look into. That's what makes this subject so awesome.Fire the puppy up and let's ROCK the HADRON!!!!

I must say, finding the Higgs is almost a given. What I can't wait to see is if they find the multiple Higgs particles that are predicted by theories going beyond the standard model like supersymmetry and whatnot.One way or the other, this thing will hit paydirt. Oooh baby. Sweet mother. I must say, finding the Higgs is almost a given.
