Validation

Scientists at CERN today were able to witness a precious moment:


Peter Higgs, briefly overcome by the announcement of the verification of the existence of a subatomic particle that bears his name.  Something something surrounds us, binds us, holds the universe together, what the little green fella in Empire Strikes Back said. Look, even the big boofhead in the grey suit sitting next to him is getting a bit emotional. Either that or he's watching a replay of Scotland v. Australia.
