How the Higgs could explain secrets of the universe

Sandrine Ceurstemont, editor, New Scientist TV

Last week, the world's most wanted particle - the elusive Higgs boson - was discovered, hailing a major breakthrough in particle physics. The particle now completes the standard model, so does that mean there's nothing left to discover?

Not exactly. In this animation, see why finding the Higgs is just the beginning and how it could be key to unlocking mysteries about our universe. The particle could help explain dark matter or gravity and could help test other theories like supersymmetry. It's even possible that it's part of a clique: there could be up to five different types of Higgs bosons.

For more about the physics behind the discovery, watch why the Higgs is the missing link or see how it could open up supersymmetry.

Kantar: Android Now Accounting For More Than Half Of All Smartphone Sales Across U.S., Europe and Oz

android_logoKantar Worldpanel ComTech, a market analysis division of WPP, has today published its latest figures on mobile device sales across a number of key markets, and it looks like something of a milestone for Android: this is the first time in ComTech's recording of sales that Android has accounted for more than half of all smartphone sales in the U.S., the biggest markets in Europe, and Australia. The sales, recorded over the last 12 weeks that ended June 10, put Android sales in a range going from 49.6 percent of all smartphone sales in Italy to 84.1 percent of all smartphone sales in Spain. These numbers are a crucial barometer of how well Android devices are selling in the market: Google typically talks activations but not actual sales of handsets. Andy Rubin in June noted that Android device activations are now numbering at over 900,000 per day.

Twilight Language: 12 July 1947: Bertrand M?heust

I was born on July 12th, in Norfolk, Virginia, in that synchromystical?year, 1947. I only recently discovered another researcher and writer, interested in topics not too distant from ones being pursued by me, who was born exactly on the same day, half a world away. ?His name is?Bertrand M?heust, and he is from France. Happy Birthday,?Monsieur?M?heust.

Let me introduce him to you.

Bertrand M?heust?


Bertrand M?heust was born, as it is written in France, on 12 July 1947, and one of his early complaints to his mother was that he wasn't born three weeks earlier, on 24 June. (Both?M?heust and I were raised in poor, working class families.)

M?heust?is a researcher and writer in French, who is known as a specialist in Jungian ufology, parapsychology, sociology, and politics. Formerly a professor of philosophy at Troyes,?M?heust is?now retired. (I was a fulltime university researcher and associate/assistant/adjunct professor in documentary film, anthropology, sociology, and social work. I retired from teaching in 2003.)

M?heust's?masters thesis, in 1981, was on William James. He is a doctor of sociology, received in 1997 from the Sorbonne, on animal magnetism. (My masters thesis, in 1978, was on sexism in the professions. I was admitted but never finished two Ph. D. programs, one in social anthropology, one in sociology.)

He is a member of the steering committee of the International Psychic Institute. (I was a founding member/honorary member/life member of the Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained and the International Society of Cryptozoology; I am the founder/director of the International Cryptozoology Museum.)

In 1975 and 1978, I coauthored (with Jerome Clark) my first two?books on Jungian ufology, cryptozoology, and Fortean accounts. Since then, as many of you know, I have written mostly about cryptozoology, sociology, biographies, anomalies, social work, and human mysteries.

In 1978, Bertrand M?heust wrote his first book (pictured at top), dealing with the question of the anticipation of science fiction of the UFO phenomenon. His mentor was Aime Michel. (Mine were Ivan T. Sanderson, Bernard Heuvelmans, and John Keel.)?M?heust's book?examined how the authors of the pulp science fiction novels at the beginning of the 20th century presented a phenomenon that would not appear until several years later. One must consider that it was only in 1947 that Kenneth Arnold brought about the modern history of flying saucers.

M?heust's?book is regularly cited by skeptics who see a strong argument in favor of a simplistic psychological explanation of the UFO phenomenon. But?M?heust's thesis is much more complex.?In his book, which was very influenced by Carl Gustav Jung, M?heust defends the extraterrestrial hypothesis.

In 1999, his university thesis, investigating mediums, was published in two volumes (1,200 pages). The book was updated on the controversy surrounding parapsychology, but also psychology. It traces the history of research, theories and concepts that have generated the issue of potential hidden human abilities, since the end of the 18th century.

Georges Bertin wrote of?M?heust's work on mediums, that he has?"against the irrevocable existential certainty that conscience is inaccessible to any other consciousness, the author will examined historically and sociologically, to consider and discharge, the field of magnetism, the m?tagnomie and the magnetic lucidity evacuated by rationalism."

M?heust?asked both how the phenomena observed and supported on primary properties of the human psyche and how they tie in to culture, observing that, of all the cultures that have integrated and updated this potentiality, Western culture is the only to have opted for the rejection of it.

Bertrand M?heust is currently a leader in the field of metaphysics in the French language and, as such, he is regularly responds to the challenges of French skeptics. He has published on metaphysical history, about the lives of Henri Broch and Georges Charpak, ?regarding sorcerers, and on psychic phenomena and the paranormal.?

Bertrand M?heust has written books on science fiction and flying saucers, flying saucers and folklore, sleepwalking and m?diums, psychic science, biographies, wizards, sorcerers, clairvoyance and divination, democratic psychotherapy, and paranormal stories of the Titanic. One of his newest books' titles is translated as The Nostalgia of Occupation: Can We Rebel Against New Forms of Enslavement? (published in February 2012).

For more about some of his books (in French), see here and here.

Talk about synchronicity of births. I was amazed to discover?Monsieur?Bertrand?M?heust.

So, who was born exactly the same day you were born??
