so someone
is stealing the data with out spending billions bulding the experiment in the first place
The atom-smashers down at CERN have invited Joe Public to lend some computing power to the search for the elusive Higgs boson – the "God particle" which theoretically gives mass to all other particles, but has to date proved elusive. Scientists are hoping that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will finally nail the Higgs boson, …
Cern sounds quite like the medieval church in some ways. Although, much more benevolent in behaviour. Except may be their cruelty in guzzling up billions of public fund.
Finally, like the Church managed to produce a mammoth global network of Christianity, Cern would succeed in producing a universal 'Cretinatti' of persons blowing with the 'cloud' and oblivious of their physical existence.
The Church too verified so many physical science facts and indulged in so much of 'nail pulling' research in those days; Cern keeps on verifying so much of SM and does merely with a lot of nail biting!
But where is the last piece in the SM puzzle or is it like I Ching says in image 64 (wei ji, before completion)-- the ship of the state had almost crossed the ocean when it got sunk and they had to start all over again?
Why not a bit of voodoo and to push in the last piece? Mercifully, our modern folks sound to be a bit more sophisticatedly honest than to attempt that!
It's still in beta test and being actively debugged, so right now they really only want people who're prepared to help with that process.
If it's just to clock up WU points on BOINC, better look elsewhere. I haven't had a valid work unit yet, although the task crash logs did help pinpoint a problem with the VM.
