Somebody open a bar called Higgs Boston, stat

Phill Hunt was thirsty today:

I wanna go for a drink at Higgs Boston.

Hillary, however, suggests it may be too late:

Higgs Boston - it's behind an unmarked door, down a staircase, next to a Dunkies. If you have to ask, you're not cool enough to go there.

And, in fact, there is a surprising number of Google results for the term Higgs Boston.

But what does it all mean? Technology reporter John Moe sums it up, in fewer than 140 characters, no less:

"I'm wicked hahd to find." - The Higgs-Boston Particle.

Chris Marstall adds:

Higgs Boston represent! Take that New York, lets see your Higgs!

To which Sean Frederick piles on:

"How do you like them atoms?" #higgsboston

Comments

Very difficult to find

In fact, we only know that it exists from the effect it has on the licensing board.

So how did the Higgs wind up in Boston?

It took the Mass Pike, of course.

Graffitti...

...seen at the men's room, CERN:

"That gives me a Hadron."
"What a Boson."
"Yeah,m he should be Lepton."

And the Higgs, um, hits just keep on coming

Derek Johnson:

Without Higgs boson, Boston would be in Achusetts.

Jason Roeder:

Receiving far less fanfare yesterday was the Higgs Boston particle, which will beat you senseless over a parking space.

Riptor:

Well personally I'm glad we have a new model of atomic physics. The old one was so bohring

It's so confusing

Aaron Fullerton cautions:

Don't confuse the God Particle (Higgs Boson) with the Gahd Pahticle (Higgs Boston), which also has to do with Mass.

Another explanation of the Higgs Boston

Nick Rachielles lets us in on the secret:

Higgs-Boston is the particle that explains why there is a Dunkin Donuts on every corner.
