The Brain was able to deliver the solution, since anyone using the hyperdrive would be briefly "dead" (no longer exist), but in the end, they would arrive safe and sound. Susan Calvin tells supercomputer The Brain not to worry about death, that it wasn't a "big deal," when the robot is working on an equation relating to hyper drive. The comment that "The death isn't even very serious" in the title text may be a reference to Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot." Robopsychologist Dr. The ostensibly reassuring platitudes offered mimic those used to placate those who were worried about possible apocalyptic consequences of commissioning the LHC, for instance the creation of black holes, strange matter, a vacuum bubble or proton-eating magnetic monopoles. Their responses imply that the pair have already dismantled the LHC and converted its components into a death ray (most likely a particle-beam weapon to be exact). The implication is that this would avoid spending another $3 billion. In the title text, the off-screen questioner wonders why Cueball and Ponytail can't use the LHC to find the particle again. The point is, once evidence for its existence has been observed it is not possible to 'lose' the Higgs boson in a way implied by Cueball and Ponytail. Finding the Higgs boson was one of the main reasons why the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was built: to create energies high enough for the Higgs boson to become manifest. Observing evidence that Higgs bosons really exist is a key test of this model: if a search for the Higgs boson had failed to find evidence confirming its existence then the Standard Model would have been shown to be an incorrect description of reality. The Higgs boson is an elementary particle that is predicted by a physical model of the universe (the ' Standard Model'). The common usage means to discover or observe the existence of a class of particles, rather than to know the current location of an individual particle. This is a humorous play on the term "finding" when applied to fundamental particles. Under scrutiny, they have been forced to admit that they have "lost" the particle which had been previously "found". Title text: 'Can't you just use the LHC you already built to find it again?' 'We MAY have disassembled it to build a death ray.' 'Just one, though.' 'Nothing you should worry about.' 'The death isn't even very serious.'Ĭueball and Ponytail are applying for a large amount of grant money to find the Higgs boson.
