If you read Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" or saw the movie by the same name, then you are familiar with the terms "God Particle" and Cern.
An article in the The Telegraph states that scientists may be close to proving it exists...or at least seeing it. According to theory, the "God Particle" will explain how the universe works or at least what holds it together at the sub-atomic level.
And we should know by next year...not to belittle science, I'm sure it's would be an extraordinarily important piece of information, but why the name? Come to find out, it's a media invention and many scientists dislike it, since it overstates the particle's importance. Not least since its discovery would still leave too many questions unanswered...first and foremost in many scientists minds, the ultimate origin of the universe. Perhaps we could shed a little light on how that happened...
