Higgs wins Nobel Prize for Physics: The ten best Higgs Boson jokes online

Scientist Peter Higgs is one of the two people who have been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for  “the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider”.

AFP image[/caption] As this article in The Hindu reports: “For physicists, finding the Higgs boson meant that the Higgs field exists. And because of the Higgs field and its properties, any fundamental particles that wade through it cause Higgs bosons to clump around the particles. This clumping causes the particle to acquire energy and, therefore, mass.” For everyone else, it’s a great time to make a wisecrack on Facebook or Twitter. So to help your comedic stylings (and possibly provide some ‘inspiration’ for them), here are ten of the best Higgs Boson jokes. https://twitter.com/NPsteve/statuses/220538245090508801 https://twitter.com/jetjocko/statuses/219871828984864773 https://twitter.com/Kallee/statuses/220395324747952128 https://twitter.com/mjrobbins/statuses/220546972535373825 https://twitter.com/jetjocko/statuses/220592485485920258 https://twitter.com/edyong209/statuses/220492320842321921 https://twitter.com/Aiannucci/statuses/220433793390100480 https://twitter.com/RichardHulse/statuses/220397815619272705 https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/387570388890554368 And the last from Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory: TV show
