Casting a Wide Net for Dark Matter with Tim M.P. Tait, University of California Irvine.

"Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?" -Stephen Hawking After a long search spanning more than my entire lifetime (so far), the Higgs boson has finally been discovered at both detectors -- CMS and ATLAS -- at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 was a triumph of theoretical and experimental physics, yet its implications are only just beginning to be understood. Precise measurements by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations show that this fundamental particle, which is responsible for generating the masses of elementary particles, behaves as predicted by the half-century-old Standard Model of particle physics. But where does the Higgs boson come from? And why is it so ...

A 1998 episode of "The Simpsons" shows Homer drawing up an equation on the blackboard that at least one scientists says definitely depicts the Higgs boson, also known as the "God particle."

Researchers are looking into the possibility of the existence of totally dark planets made up of dark matter and not just of baryons. Finding one will open new ideas and perceptions of how planets are formed.

We may not have found many planetary systems like our own Solar System.

And here they come.

Observations of the universe on very small and large scales have revealed a surprising economy in its basic laws and structure. In this light, we have simpler solutions to cosmology’s central puzzles.

"If you're a reporter, the easiest thing in the world is to get a story. The hardest thing is to verify. The old sins were about getting something wrong, that was a cardinal sin. The new sin is to be boring." -David Halberstam
