There is one question that persistently circles the community of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) true-believers: If the government has nothing to hide, UFO fans often ask, then why is it keeping so many UFO records under lock and key?"
Yes, UFO's are probably just goofy, but there is just enough out their to tease our minds.

Origins: CERN: Ideas: The Higgs Boson
The Search for the Higgs Boson. What is it? See below. Also, see CERN
There, you will learn about the Swiss-French particle accelerator that will open in April to find both the Higgs Boson and perhaps create a very small black hole!
Origins: CERN: Ideas: The Higgs Boson: "An oft-cited analogy describes it well: Imagine you're at a Hollywood party. The crowd is rather thick, and evenly distributed around the room, chatting. When the big star arrives, the people nearest the door gather around her. As she moves through the party, she attracts the people closest to her, and those she moves away from return to their other conversations. By gathering a fawning cluster of people around her, she's gained momentum, an indication of mass. She's harder to slow down than she would be without the crowd. Once she's stopped, it's harder to get her going again.
This clustering effect is the Higgs mechanism, postulated by British physicist Peter Higgs in the 1960s. The theory hypothesizes that a sort of lattice, referred to as the Higgs field, fills the universe."
