It may only be the sixth day in July - but strangeness still
abounds. Weirdness still stalks the night. Craziness continues
to lurk in the open. Madness meddles those who seek openness and
truth.  That is why we bring you Con-piracy Journal every week -
to uncover the uncoverable. To reveal the unrevealable. And to
enlighten the unenlightenable all the strange news that everyone
else is afraid to even admit.

This week Cons-iracy Journal takes a look at such brain-numbing
stories as:

- "God Particle" May Have Been Found -
- A Poison for Assassins -
- W.R. Drake - Alien Tales From The Ancient World -
- Ghostly Apparition Caught on Camera at Perth Tearoom -
AND: NOAA Issues Statement: "Mermaids Do Not Exist"

All these exciting stories and MORE in this week's issue of
CONS-IRACY JOURNAL!

"God Particle" May Have Been Found

Scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher hailed the
discovery of "the missing cornerstone of physics" Wednesday,
cheering the apparent end of a decades-long quest for a new
subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, or "God particle,"
which could help explain why all matter has mass and crack open
a new realm of subatomic science.

The Higgs boson appears in a theory first fleshed out in 1964
by Peter Higgs at Edinburgh University and five other
physicists. Finding the particle proves there is an energy field
that fills the vacuum of the observable universe. It plays the
crucial role of giving mass to certain subatomic particles that
are the building blocks of matter. The Higgs field is thought to
have switched on a trillionth of a second after the big bang
that blasted the universe into existence. Without it, or
something to do its job, the structure of the cosmos would be
radically different than it is today.

As the highly technical findings were announced by two
independent teams involving more than 5,000 researchers, the
usually sedate corridors of the European Center for Nuclear
Research, or CERN, erupted in frequent applause and standing
ovations. Physicists who spent their careers in pursuit of the
particle shed tears.

The new particle appears to share many of the same qualities as
the one predicted by Scottish physicist Peter Higgs and others
and is perhaps the biggest accomplishment at CERN since its
founding in 1954 outside Geneva along the Swiss-French border.

Rolf Heuer, director of CERN, said the newly discovered
particle is a boson, but he stopped just shy of claiming
outright that it is the Higgs boson itself - an extremely fine
distinction.

"As a layman, I think we did it," he told the elated crowd. "We
have a discovery. We have observed a new particle that is
consistent with a Higgs boson."

The Higgs, which until now had been purely theoretical, is
regarded as key to understanding why matter has mass, which
combines with gravity to give all objects weight.

The idea is much like gravity and Isaac Newton's early
theories. Gravity was there all the time before Newton explained
it. The Higgs boson was believed to be there, too. And now that
scientists have actually seen something much like it, they can
put that knowledge to further use.

The center's atom smasher, the $10 billion Large Hadron
Collider, sends protons whizzing around a circular 27-kilometer
(17-mile) underground tunnel at nearly the speed of light to
create high-energy collisions. The aftermath of those impacts
can offer clues about dark matter, antimatter and the creation
of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive
explosion known as the Big Bang.

Most of the particles that result from the collisions exist for
only the smallest fractions of a second. But finding a Higgs-
like boson was one of the biggest challenges in physics: Out of
some 500 trillion collisions, just several dozen produced
"events" with significant data, said Joe Incandela of the
University of California at Santa Barbara, leader of the team
known as CMS, with 2,100 scientists.

Each of the teams confirmed Wednesday that they had "observed"
a new subatomic particle - a boson. Heuer said the discovery was
"most probably a Higgs boson, but we have to find out what kind
of Higgs boson it is." He referred to the discovery as a missing
cornerstone of science.

As the leaders of the two teams presented their evidence,
applause punctuated their talks.

"Thanks, nature!" joked Fabiola Gianotti, the Italian physicist
who heads the team called ATLAS, with 3,000 scientists, drawing
laughter from the crowd.

Later, she told reporters that the standard model of physics is
still incomplete because "the dream is to find an ultimate
theory that explains everything. We are far from that."

Incandela said it was too soon to say definitively whether the
particle was exactly the same as envisioned by Higgs and others,
who proposed the existence of an energy field where all
particles interact with a key particle, the Higgs boson.

Higgs, who was invited to be in the audience, said Wednesday's
discovery appears to be close to what he predicted.

"It is an incredible thing that it has happened in my
lifetime," he said, calling the discovery a huge achievement for
the proton-smashing collider.

Outside CERN, the announcement seemed to ricochet around the
world with some of the speed and energy of the particle itself.

In an interview with the BBC, the world's most famous
physicist, Stephen Hawking, said Higgs deserved the Nobel Prize.
Hawking said he had placed a wager with another scientist that
the Higgs boson would never be found.

"It seems I have just lost $100," he said.

Marc Sher, a professor of physics at William & Mary College,
said most observers concluded in December that the Higgs boson
would soon be discovered, but he was "still somewhat stunned by
the results."

The phrase "God particle" was coined by Nobel Prize-winning
physicist Leon Lederman, but it's used mostly by laymen as an
easier way of explaining the theory.

Wednesday's celebration was mainly for researchers who explore
the deepest, most esoteric levels of particle science. But the
particle-hunting effort has paid off in other ways for non-
scientists, including contributing to the development of the
World Wide Web.

CERN scientists used the early Web to exchange information, and
the vast computing power needed to crunch all of the data
produced by the atom smasher also boosted development of cloud
computing, which is now making its way into mainstream services.

Advances in solar energy, medical imaging and proton therapy
used in the fight against c-ncer have also resulted from the
work of particle physicists at CERN and elsewhere.

The last undiscovered piece of the standard model of physics
could be a variant of the Higgs that was predicted or something
else that entirely changes the way scientists think about how
matter is formed, Incandela said.

"This boson is a very profound thing we have found," he said.
"We're reaching into the fabric of the universe in a way we
never have done before. We've kind of completed one particle's
story. ... Now we're way out on the edge of exploration."

The discovery is so fundamental to the laws of nature,
Incandela said, that it could spawn a new era of technology and
development in the same way that Newton's laws of gravity led to
basic equations of mechanics that made the industrial revolution
possible.

"This is so far out on a limb, I have no idea where it will be
applied," he added. "We're talking about something we have no
idea what the implications are and may not be directly applied
for centuries."

- POLONIUM FOR THOSE PROBLEM PESTS DEPARTMENT -

A Poison for Assassins
By Deborah Blum

In the late 19th century, a then-unknown chemistry student
named Marie Curie was searching for a thesis subject. With
encouragement from her husband, Pierre, she decided to study the
strange energy released by uranium ores, a sizzle of power far
greater than uranium alone could explain.

The results of that study are today among the most famous in
the history of science. The Curies discovered not one but two
new radioactive elements in their slurry of material (and Marie
invented the word radioactivity to help explain them.) One was
the glowing element radium. The other, which burned brighter and
briefer, she named after her home country of Poland - Polonium
(from the Latin root, polonia). In honor of that discovery, the
Curies shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with their French
colleague Henri Becquerel for his work with uranium.
