Who Needs A Large Hadron Collider When You Have A Higgs Boson Plushy?
By Steve West: 2008-09-14 16:27:24
While we’re waiting for the Large Hadron Collider to confirm or deny the existence of the theoretical Higgs boson there’s no reason to not own one of your own. The Standard Model of particle physics may predict the elusive quantum particle to exist, but now you can just hold up the plush toy version as incontrovertible proof. Hey CERN, no need to end the world now. Go ahead and turn off your machine of doom.
Folks at home should have a basic understand of what the Higgs boson is, but it’s no stretch to say that the average schmoe will not really know what it is or why it’s important. That is fine by me, as I’m not a physicist. I enjoy reading physics papers now and then, and I even understand a surprising amount of the material. But what I know for sure is that Particle Zoo’s plushy version of the Higgs boson is adorable. The plushy is wool felt filled with gravel, because the Higgs boson needs as much mass as possible. It’s just one of his things. If you’re interested in having your own it’ll only cost you $9.95. That’s a much fairer price than the deletion of existence in the universe.

Shouldn't the Higgs Boson look more curvaceous? That plush toy looks like a virus.
