Will We Find the Higgs Boson?

This is a theoretical particle that may be proven to exist when the Large Hadron Collider opens up later this year in Switzerland. While the rest of the world yawns, for particle physicists the Collider is like a lifetime's worth of Christmas presents. They are all pretty excited. One of the funnier things about the article is a comment that might have been penned by my sister, Lynn.

A simpler version of a test would be to ask why, if you eat one pound of chocolate, do you gain a few lbs? Where did the other lbs. come from?
