Higgs carrying particle around in matchbox

[Robert]

PHYSICIST Peter Higgs is treating the ‘God particle’ like a tiny pet, it has been claimed.

​

​

He can tell if it’s happy​

Higgs’s colleagues are angry with the reclusive scientist for naming the particle and taking it home at weekends.

Physicist Tom Logan said: “I popped into the lab on Saturday to do some physics on the particle but I was told Peter had taken it to the park to see the ducks.​

“Apparently he calls it ‘Bosie’ for short.​

“Usually he’s carrying it around in a matchbox. It’s even got a bit of cotton wool in it which is apparently its bed.​

“If you ask him anything he holds the matchbox to his ear and says, ‘What do you think, Bosie?’ Then he acts like it’s talking back to him, it’s really annoying.​

“Last week we couldn’t do any experiments because ‘Bosie was tired’.”​

Higgs’s search for the fundamental particle began after the death of his beloved Cairn terrier Roxy left him with a lot of time on his hands.​

Fellow scientist Emma Bradford said: “I told him the particle can’t talk and he replied, ‘Bosie doesn’t talk to you because you smell funny’.​

“One time we got the matchbox and swapped the Higgs Boson for another less important particle. They all look similarly invisible but somehow he knew and went apeshit.”​

Yes, perhaps should've been in the Lizard's Lounge.​

absolutely hilarious... "bosie"... i can see a sheldon cooper type feller doing exactly that...
