There might be a time when I get sick of Symphony of Science’s videos featuring scientists grooving out in all their autotuned glory, but it’s not here yet. Their latest video, called “The Face of Creation,” is about one of the year’s biggest scientific (probable) discoveries: The Higgs boson.
Join me in raising a glass of imaginary wine to whatever it is scientists end up discovering in 2013. My fingers are crossed, as always, for aliens.

Last month we showed you a trailer for Decay, a film being made by Luke Thompson and Clara Nellist, both Ph.D. students in physics. They filmed it at CERN, which you may know is home to the Large Hadron Collider, and it the plot involves the Higgs Boson particle turning people into zombies. If that doesn’t sell you, I don’t know what will. You can find out more information at DecayFilm.com but now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the feature.

It might seem preposterous, but the first photo on the World Wide Web wasn’t a cat meme — it was an ensemble shot of Les Horribles Cernettes, a comedy band based at the CERN laboratory near Geneva. Let that sink in for a moment. Hit the jump to hear more about how the web’s very first photo anticipated poorly photoshopped Myspace and Facebook group profile pics by about 20 years!

But this is just noted sharpie-wielding math and science expert Vihart‘s take on CERN’s announcement that they’ve found, to within 99.9999% sureity, a new type of boson. And that that new particle, so far as we can tell (pending more research), conforms to the theoretical qualities of a Higgs boson. You might also be interested in knowing a bit more about what a Higgs boson is, and why it’s important. For that, we can go to Jorge Cham‘s, of PHD Comics, cartoon rendering of a scientist’s explanation:

I need to hire someone to follow me around and say "Christopher Lee makes thrash metal albums" whenever I'm in a bad mood.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.

If we can get Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, can I get a Gatsby retelling where he's not just new money… he's a vampire?
