The 40-year hunt for the holy grail of physics - the elusive "God particle" that is supposed to give matter its mass - is almost over, according to the leading scientist who first came up with the theory.
Peter Higgs, whose work gave his name to the elusive Higgs boson particle, said that he was more than 90 per cent certain it would be found within the next few years.

The World for People who Think
Comment: Let's review: The U.S. and Western powers are screaming that greenhouse gas emissions must be curtailed, and point their fingers at the developing countries as being the worst or potentially-going-to-be worst producers of greenhouse gasses. When China proposes that 0.5 percent of every country's GDP be used to develop new, cleaner technologies, the U.S. balks. And then we have the World Bank subsidizing the creation of HUGE coal-burning plants.
All the while, the models used to predict the effects of greenhouse gasses, specifically CO2, is falling woefully short of reality. See "Lord Lawson claims climate change hysteria heralds a 'new age of unreason'".
Could this be nothing more than a scam to control up-and-coming economic powerhouses?
