You may have won but the joke is on you when Hawking makes you reach into his pocket to get the loot.

Discovering Higgs Boson = groundbreaking. Seeing Stephen Hawking crack a sly grin = priceless.

One must turn on the Closed Captions and then Transcribed... "passed lover particles..." "that will be smaller evidence for a song called the standard model of particle..." I want to hear that song, as small as the evidence is that it exists.

^ Will a poem do?

The standard model of particles, founded 50 years ago,
By abdus salam, steve weinberg and sheldon glashow.

They theorised three new forces, through which we used to find.
That gravity isn't the only all pervading influence of its kind.

The strong force exchanges gluons, of nuclear design.
Forgive the sense of humour, science needs a focused mind.

Before that comes the weak force, which must be overcome,
To fuse elements together and create a heavier one.

E-M forces follow; with yet a greater range,
"Quantum electrodynamics" uses photons to exchange.

Gravity we discovered first, Newton lead the way.
Applying it to the planets to map the celestial ballet.

From the smallest to the largest, we arrive at the present day.
The "Theory of Almost Everything"; so close yet so far away.
