May you one day theorize something and 48 years later be photographed with the 27 kilometer large country-spanning machine that confirmed you were right. Awesome photo of Peter Higgs courtesy of the @CMSexperiment at CERN.

@bert_hubert @CMSexperiment I wish I could leave infosec and be a theoretical physicist the rest of my life.

I just can't afford it :/

@bert_hubert @CMSexperiment as a member of CMS, I endorse this. It’s incredibly great that Peter lived long enough to see his model confirmed, and all it took was the biggest machines we’ve ever built.
@bert_hubert @CMSexperiment I’ve been lucky enough to see the CMS experiment a couple of times. It is truly awe inspiring that something so large and complex has been built purely to advance our knowledge. We need to do so much more of that as a species.
@bert_hubert @CMSexperiment this reads a lot like a Talking Heads song but congratulations on his achievements in any case.

@bert_hubert @CMSexperiment
That is so awesome.

Side note: I had no idea there was an EU flag. I looked that up. And it was adopted in 1955! How did I not know this? Maybe because I'm in the US and they don't teach us much world history.
