Seems like it'll be a quiet year over there at CERN, at least news-wise. Although everybody, including your hubby, will be very busy collecting and translating the tons of data that have been accumulated for the last few months, and also with the scheduled upgrade of the LHC. The plans to almost double its power in a year promises to provide the tools to dig even deeper beyond the standard model. Can't wait for the investigations into supersymmetry to commence.

The whole idea: “Our world is made up of matter and forces and they are distinct, but at higher energy scales they would be interchangeable. That may have been how things were just after the Big Bang. The real question is, can we probe that?”
