Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider think they'll probably prove the existence of the Higgs Boson, or “God Particle,” within two years—and that if they can’t, it likely doesn’t exist.

If they do find proof of it, I hope that means that everyone will stop calling it the frigging "god" particle. I don't think there's any definition of "god" that means enabling matter to have mass. Never understood where that misnomer came from, and I'll be really glad to be rid of it.
