CERN Director Says LHC Will Find God Particle By End Of The Year -- The Telegraph
The Large Hadron Collider is to be switched off at the end of the year to undergo a major upgrade, but scientists hope to have achieved one of the machine's major goals by the time it does – proving the existence of the so called God Particle.
