The national media, except for a local non-profit radio station, never covered the most important discovery to man to date.

I might add, this project produced exactly what these men stated it would produce as soon as the Hadron Collider was completed. This Hadron Collider cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $9 billion US. 

Governments had to cooperate in this project because it was built underground. The Collider is very long as well. It is a big thinking project that took decades to realize and the USA had little to do with it.

Two scientists (click here) have won the Nobel prize in physics for their work on the theory of the Higgs boson.

Peter Higgs, from the UK, and Francois Englert from Belgium, share the prize.
In the 1960s, they were among several physicists who proposed a mechanism to explain why the most basic building blocks of the Universe have mass.
The mechanism predicts a particle - the Higgs boson - which was finally discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, in Switzerland.
"This year's prize is about something small that makes all the difference," said Staffan Normark, permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences....

The United States needs to invest in it's people, NOT IT'S MILITARY, it's people. The Affordable Care Act is an excellent beginning. Investing in education, President Obama like Early Childhood Education, is absolutely important to the outcomes of the USA.

We don't need more bombs. The USA military is already ungainly. When the Air Force crashes cutting edge drone technology into foreign countries the USA has become too big for the needs of the country.

The Republicans ONLY want the military to receive federal monies and will jump at any chance to fund it.

It is completely immoral and unconscionable to ask this nation to support a huge military while American children go hungry, homeless and uneducated. It is the work of the demons in the Republican Party and it has to end.

All this money and absolutely nothing to show for it except two wars, a deprived and impoverished nation with an entire generation left out in the cold and a bankrupt treasury. Well, aren't we just proud. All this money and we were only now, under President Obama, finding a sustainable economy.

LOCAL ECONOMIES ROCK !!!!!!!!!!! And they don't cause wars.
