IT took $10 billion, the world’s largest particle accelerator and decades of research, but now scientists are convinced: The universe doesn’t exist.

Or at least it shouldn't.

So, is it back to the drawing board or should we all vanish in a puff of logic?

The nature of the newly discovered Higgs Boson particle appears to point to the universe blinking out of existence mere moments after the Big Bang.

“This is an unacceptable prediction of the theory … if this had happened, we wouldn’t be around to discuss it!” one of the researchers who discovered this discrepancy stated.

When the data from the world’s most expensive experiment is plugged into the physics “equation for everything”, otherwise known as the Standard Model, it comes up trumps.

But don’t worry, say British cosmologists: It probably just means we’ve missed something.

Australian astrophysicist Dr Alan Duffy agrees.

“I love this idea of bringing together two discoveries found at the biggest extremes of size you can imagine. From studying the Higgs Boson at tiny scales much smaller than an atom to (potentially) measuring Inflation by searching into the distant past of our enormous universe.”

Well.... nice Not talking to y'all, I'm out *poof*

Maybe someone forgot to carry the two. :roll:

Some day scientists will realize that the Buddhists were right all along - Life is an illusion and that the dream state is our true reality. This really is the Matrix and you don't have to follow the rules anymore.

so I'm right in always having believed that rules are for idiots!

of course 30+ years working for the feds I've grown a deep disdain for bureaucrats, who as you can imagine are intensely ana| when it comes to "the rules".

apparently, yes, the scientists missed something... just a minor detail in that Magical Element... some would refer to as God.
