Higgs, the Little Boson That Could


Ducks all around the world travelled to hear the news from CERN yesterday - the Higgs Boson has finally been discovered.

However, the implications for duck kind are not yet clear. Many ducks hope that the particle will be unpredictable, in all the ways that make us love the weird and wonderful world of quantum physics. They hope it will be everything that those 'faster than light' neutrinos failed to be (don't feel bad CERN, we wanted it to be true too).

But so far the particle seems rather ordinary. It may not break physics as we know it at all.

Don't disappoint us, little Higgs Boson. We believe in you!
