Hype on the Higgs
The media is aglow with reports of the likely discovery of the long-sought Higgs boson particle, which completes the standard model of particle physics.
There is still a chance for error, but it's currently 5-in-10-million chance - the 5 sigma mark for acceptable particle physics theories.
The discovery cost Stephen Hawking $100 in a bet.
