“Who would have thought that the sound of God would be so whiny?” quips The Independent. Physicists at the LHC say “the God particle” sounds like “a bunch of coins spinning in a wine glass.” “The Holy Grail of the £6bn collider is to eventually produce a Higgs boson, the elusive, hypothetical particle which supposedly gives mass to other particles and will help scientists understand how the universe’s first atoms came into existence…But while a physical Higgs boson has yet to be created, scientists have used computer programs to model what it might look like.”
