I'm sure you're not very busy but any updates on the Higgs boson? The thread kind of died, but I hope the timetables you left in one of your last updates to it are more conservative than actual. Thanks for the insight into the world of physics.

Thanks for the Rep.
At first, I wasn't sure what to make of the copyright accusation - I mostly felt surprised. After thinking about it for a few hours, I decided that I liked the vigilance and it was a valid concern, so I offered a general response to anyone who might be interested (partly to inform about HABS and partly to protect my reputation).
arsheesh - 10-10-2011 06:33 PM - permalink View Conversation

Hi Torstan, just noticed that you had repped my Eriond map a while back, and wanted to say thanks!

Cheers,
