The Higgs boson is delightfully stirring the mud puddle in the astrophysics community even after found! Instead of clearing everything up, now more questions have to be asked.
British cosmologists are puzzled: they predict that the universe should not have lasted for more than a second. This startling conclusion is the result of combining the latest observations of the sky with the recent discovery of the Higgs boson. Robert Hogan of King's College London (KCL) presents the new research on June 24 at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting in Portsmouth.
The controversy seems to be about one of the predictions of BICEP2 allegedly being observed, and if so, Robert Hogan seems to think that if they did see this effect, then the universe would not exist today, it would have went straight to 'Big Crunch' right after the 'Big Bang'.
Pop the corn, this may be a good one!

Um, according to the Big Bang Theory the universe started with a big bang. According to Darwin's Theory of Evolution people started as something other than humans cast upon Earth via divine intervention. The two aren't necessarily linked, though many who believe one believe the other.
You can chose to believe one, both or neither ... or even make up one of your own. If you come up with something good please submit it to Soylent News [soylentnews.org] as they are shameless in their addiction to new stories to post.
