A Higgs boson goes into a church on Christmas Eve but the vicar says: "Sorry, we don't allow Higgs bosons into our service." The Higgs boson replies: "But how else are you going to have Mass?"
Geeky christmas humour!

I had to wiki what a Higgs boson was.
:lol: :lol:

You guys are clearly not Geeky enough!
Stone Cold: The Higgs Boson is what gives things mass.
Please read:
By Mary and Ian Butterworth, Imperial College London, and Doris and Vigdor Teplitz, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, USA.
The Higgs boson is a hypothesised particle which, if it exists, would give the mechanism by which particles acquire mass.
Matter is made of molecules; molecules of atoms; atoms of a cloud of electrons about one-hundred-millionth of a centimetre and a nucleus about one-hundred-thousandth the size of the electron cloud. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. Each proton (or neutron) has about two thousand times the mass of an electron. We know a good deal about why the nucleus is so small. We do not know, however, how the particles get their masses. Why are the masses what they are? Why are the ratios of masses what they are? We can't be said to understand the constituents of matter if we don't have a satisfactory answer to this question.
Peter Higgs has a model in which particle masses arise in a beautiful, but complex, progression. He starts with a particle that has only mass, and no other characteristics, such as charge, that distinguish particles from empty space. We can call his particle H. H interacts with other particles; for example if H is near an electron, there is a force between the two. H is of a class of particles called "bosons". Been in the news a lot recently init :ugeek:

I thought it was quite amusing. I'm a bit geeky too obviously.

On a similar theme:
Barman: "Sorry, we don't serve neutrino particles in here."
A neutrino particle walks into a bar.

Dunfie - I thought I was a geek, I did maths and Physics at uni, though several years ago, I must have forgotten what is special about a neutrino particle that makes that joke work backwards.
I didn't get it.

To be fair it is only recently that the tests with neutrino particles getting to their destination before they were sent hit the news. I only knew because Brian Cox seemed to on every news bulliten for a fortnight trying to explain it.

:ugeek: :ugeek: :ugeek: Recently the evidence that neutrinos arrive at their destination before they were sent implies that they were travelling faster than the speed of light. This of course is patently impossible for any particle that has mass, which neutrinos do . . .therefore they couldn't cross the barrier at the speed of light . . . . However according to string theory it is possible to travel faster than light (but not go from sub light to supra light speeds) . . . The current hypothesis is that the sub light neutrino changes to a meson (via string theory) which is travelling faster than light . . . then changes back to a neutrino . . . travelling slower than light . . . therefore the neutrino never actually crosses the speed of light.Crastney said:
A jokes never funny when you have to explain it
