    So it appears that all your work is for nothing Torstan. At least that is what Hawking says, and if he says it than you know it must be true.

    It could be Prof. Hawking's habit of backing something both ways.
    i.e. If the LHC finds something, he loses $100 but gets the joy of CERN having discovered something. If CERN fails to find anything, at least he gets $100.

    He did something like this for his black hole theory (a complete set of the Encyclopaedia Britannica vs. a year subscription to Playboy IIRC).

    Well, not quite. He says they won't find the Higgs boson, but goes on to say this:

    While questioning the likelihood of finding Higgs Bosons, Hawking said the experiment could discover superpartners, particles that would be "supersymmetric partners" to particles already known about.

    "Their existence would be a key confirmation of string theory, and they could make up the mysterious dark matter that holds galaxies together," he told the BBC.
    I work on supersymmetric dark matter. Nuff said.

    I think they should find the Higgs, because almost any theory suggests you should see it. To hedge my bets though I have a paper on a Higgsless model, because frankly we don't know and I don't want to be out of a job if they don't find it!

    Heh I thought they were the same. Anyways, I'm kinda on the fence about how it went today. I mean awesome we're still here, but I was hoping it would all end, I have it in my mind it would be hilarious. Maybe I'm crazy
