BBC, yesterday said Large Hadron Collider was 80% complete. Since physics is not my strong suit, I've tried to understand this particle through the library and the Web but everything I find makes my eyes glaze over.

If you go to the Test4Theory@home message boards, Cafe,AltF2 you'll find an explanation by Peter Skands, a CERN physicist,about what this program is trying to do/ I am taking part in it.

I think that the neutrino thing will be explained by what we know. The Higgs boson will also be confirmed. It may take a while and another boost in energy to find it. There is a lot for sure that we don't know, and we can only model reality by what we observe and interpret in terms of what we already "understand".

The neutrinos coming from SN1987A arrived simultaneously with the photons. How can this be if they have a mass?I am afraid we know very little about them.

I will, and thanks, Tullio.

In fact we really know very little about the electron, though we control it quite well. Perhaps we know more about it than we do about a neutrino.

At the Cavendish Laboratory, after J.J.Thomson had discovered the electron, a toast was made in 1897: To the electron, may it be useful to none!
