(Higgs Boson - God Particle Confirmed)
By Sam Yau
A curiosity worth more than
thirteen billion dollars,
wider than a seventeen-mile oval tunnel,
deeper than five hundred feet below the ground,
bigger than any one country’s agenda.
In a trillionth of a second,
a man-made collision opens
a portal to another dimension,
a new Big Bang after fourteen billion years.
Protons one hundred thousand times
hotter than the sun collide
at the speed of light.
Trillions of known
and yet-to-be-discovered
sparkling filaments
emerge and explode.
Amid the thundering, deafening maelstrom,
hear the whisper of a Higgs boson,
the wizard behind the curtain
bestowing mass on
ghostly subatomic specks.
The invisible massless is transformed
into the visible physical,
appears from nothing,
disappears into nothing,
shapeshifts from waves to matter
and back again.
Entangled in an unbroken web
of the holographic universe,
there are no lonely quarks.
Imagine a human world with
no illusion of separation.
