Join us for a live online chat with physicist Michael Tuts of Columbia University. Tuts will help us understand what this morning?s announcement about the Higgs means for physics
?| July 4, 2012?|
We?ve long understood black holes to be the points at which the universe as we know it comes to an end. Often billions of times more massive than the Sun, they...

Join us below at 11 A.M. Eastern time on Wednesday, July 4 for a live 30-minute online chat with physicist Michael Tuts of Columbia University, who will discuss an early-morning announcement from CERN, a Switzerland-based lab for particle physics, about the long-running search for the Higgs boson. We invite you to submit questions in advance in the comments section at the bottom of this page.
The Higgs particle, first hypothesized in the 1960s by physicist Peter Higgs and others, would help explain why elementary particles, such as quarks, have mass. Finding the Higgs?or ruling out its existence?was the prime motivation for building the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where researchers collide protons traveling at nearly light-speed to create new particles.
[Click here to watch a Webcast of the announcement starting at 3 A.M. EDT Wednesday. The chat will take place later in chat box below.]
Michael Tuts, the U.S. operations program manager for the ATLAS detector at the LHC, will answer your questions during the chat about the Higgs, the LHC and what comes next in particle physics if indeed the Higgs has been found. We will turn on the capacity to log in to the chat box below around 10:50 A.M. EDT.
