Scientists have discovered a simulated version of the elusive 'God particle' using superconductors.
The God Particle, which is believed to be responsible for all the mass in the universe, was discovered in 2012 using a Cern's supercollider.
The superconductor experiment suggests that the Higgs particle could be detected without the huge amounts of energy used at by the Large Hadron Collider.
The results could help scientists better understand how this mysterious particle – also known as the Higgs boson – behaves in different conditions.
'Just as the Cern experiments revealed the existence of the Higgs boson in a high-energy accelerator environment, we have now revealed a Higgs boson analogue in superconductors,' said researcher Aviad Frydman from Bar-Ilan University.
Superconductors are a type of metal that, when cooled to low temperatures, allow electrons to pass through freely.
'The Higgs mode was never actually observed in superconductors because of technical difficulties - difficulties that we've managed to overcome,' Professor Frydman said.

WHAT IS THE GOD PARTICLE?
The 'God Particle', also known as the Higgs boson, was a missing piece in the jigsaw for physicists in trying to understand how the universe works.
Scientists believe that a fraction of a second after the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe, an invisible energy field, called the Higgs field, formed.
This has been described as a kind of 'cosmic treacle' across the universe.
As particles passed through it, they picked up mass, giving them size and shape and allowing them to form the atoms that make up you, everything around you and everything in the universe.
This was the theory proposed in 1964 by former grammar school boy Professor Higgs that has now been confirmed.
Without the Higgs field particles would simply whizz around space in the same way as light does.
A boson is a type of sub-atomic particle. Every energy field has a specific particle that governs its interaction with what's around it.
To try to pin it down, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva smashed together beams of protons – the 'hearts of atoms' – at close to the speed of light, recreating conditions that existed a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.
Although they would rapidly decay, they should have left a recognisable footprint. This footprint was found in 2012.
The main difficulty was that the superconducting material would decay into something known as particle-hole pairs.
Large amounts of energy – which are usually needed to excite the Higgs mode - tend to break apart the electron pairs that act as the material's charge.
Professor Frydman and his colleagues solved this problem by using ultra-thin superconducting films of Niobium Nitrite (NbN) and Indium Oxide (InO) as something known as the 'superconductor-insulator critical point.'
This is a state in which recent theory predicted the decay of the Higgs would no longer occur.
In this way, they could still excite a Higgs mode even at relatively low energies.
'The parallel phenomenon in superconductors occurs on a different energy scale entirely - just one-thousandth of a single electronvolt,' Professor Frydman added.
'What's exciting is to see how, even in these highly disparate systems, the same fundamental physics is at work.'
The different approach help solve one of the longstanding mysteries of fundamental physics.
The discovery of the Higgs boson verified the Standard Model, which predicted that particles gain mass by passing through a field that slows down their movement through the vacuum of space.

Although they would rapidly decay, the also left a recognisable footprint.
Professor Higgs, 83, has been waiting since 1964 for science to catch up with his ideas about the Higgs boson
According to Professor Frydman, observation of the Higgs mechanism in superconductors is significant because it reveals how a single type of physical process behaves under different energy conditions.
'Exciting the Higgs mode in a particle accelerator requires enormous energy levels - measured in giga-electronvolts, or 109 eV,' Professor Frydman says.
'The parallel phenomenon in superconductors occurs on a different energy scale entirely - just one-thousandth of a single electronvolt.
'What's exciting is to see how, even in these highly disparate systems, the same fundamental physics is at work.'
The LHC is due to come back online in March after an upgrade that has given it a big boost in energy.
'With this new energy level, the (collider) will open new horizons for physics and for future discoveries,' CERN Director General Rolf Heuer said in a statement.
'I'm looking forward to seeing what nature has in store for us.'
Cern's collider is buried in a 27-km (17-mile) tunnel straddling the Franco-Swiss border at the foot of the Jura mountains.

Excerpt from venturebeat.com
By Vivek Wadhwa
The good news is that governments no longer have a monopoly on space exploration. In two or three decades, we will have entrepreneurs taking us on private spaceflights to the moon. That is what has become possible.
What has changed since the days of the Apollo moon landings is that the cost of building technologies has dropped exponentially. What cost billions of dollars then costs millions now, and sometimes even less. Our smartphones have computers that are more powerful than the Cray supercomputers of yesteryear — which had strict export controls and cost tens of millions of dollars. We carry high-definition cameras in our pockets that are more powerful than those on NASA spacecraft. The cameras in the Mars Curiosity Rover, for example, have a resolution of 2 megapixels with 8GB of flash memory, the same as our clunky first-generation iPhones. The Apollo Guidance Computer, which took humans to the moon in 1966, had a 2.048 MHz processor — slower than those you find in calculators and musical greeting cards.
The same technologies as are available in the United States and Europe are available worldwide. Innovation has globalized.
I met Team Indus while I was in Mumbai to speak at INK last November. When they told me they were competing for the Google Lunar XPRIZE. I didn’t take them seriously because I had seen their counterpart in Silicon Valley, Moon Express, which has the support of tech moguls such as Naveen Jain. How could a scrawny little startup in Bangalore take on Naveen Jain, former NASA engineer Bob Richards, and NASA itself, I thought. The Moon Express team is a force of nature, has the advantage of being on the NASA Ames Research campus, and has been given R&D worth billions of dollars by NASA.
Team Indus was also up against Astrobotic, which is a spinoff from the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute, and Israel-based SpaceIL, which has the backing of the country’s top research institutes.
The company’s win blew my mind. Even though the subject of my INK talk was how Indian entrepreneurs could help change the world, I didn’t think it was already happening.
(See my Jan. 1 story on the Indian tech scene and watch this talk to learn more: Why India shouldn’t be succeeding but is.)
The Bangalore-based startup was founded by former I.T. executive Rahul Narayan and four of his friends: an Air Force pilot, a marketing executive, an investment banker, and an aerospace engineer. None of the team had experience in building spacecraft or robots, yet they were able to build technology that could navigate to the moon.
Narayan says he expects completion of his space mission to cost around $30 million. Moon Express chief executive Bob Richards estimates $50 million. These numbers are higher than the $20 million prize that they hope to win. But both see far greater opportunities: They hope to be pioneers in what could be a trillion-dollar industry. Richards is looking to mine the moon for minerals and bring them back to Earth. Each payload could be worth billions.
The Google Lunar XPRIZE has 26 teams competing from around the world. Collectively, they will spend in the hundreds of millions of dollars on their efforts. For them, it is not all about winning the contest; many of the losers will still commercialize their space technologies or put their knowledge to use in other fields. This is the power of such competitions. They lead entrants to spend multiples of the offered purse on innovative solutions. And they motivate people outside the industry, such as Narayan, to enter it with out-of-the-box thinking.
Innovation prizes are not new. In fact, a number of celebrated historical feats were made possible, in part, by the desire to win these prizes. In the 1920s, New York hotel owner Raymond Orteig offered a $25,000 prize to the first person to fly non-stop between New York and Paris. Several unsuccessful attempts were made before an American airmail pilot named Charles Lindbergh won the competition in 1927 with his plane, The Spirit of St. Louis.
Lindbergh’s achievement made him a national hero and a global celebrity. And it sparked the interest and investment that led to the modern aviation industry.
That is what I expect will come of the Lunar XPRIZE. And that is why I am looking forward to booking my round-trip ticket to the moon one summer in the 2030s.

Comet Lovejoy is scheduled to make an appearance right before New Year’s Day, a treat for astronomers looking forward to 2015.
Most revelers will be looking up to the sky to see the ball drop on New Year’s Eve, but skywatchers could be in for a treat if it’s not cloudy out: at around 11 PM local time the little comet, which looks a bit like a fuzzy green caterpillar, should be visible as it passes across the shins of the constellation Orion.
Of course not everyone is going to be interested in freezing their chestnuts off, especially in the colder climates of North America. If it’s too chilly for you to strain your eyes in order to spot the magnitude 5 comet, you can stay inside in the warmth and just wait for Lovejoy to grow a bit brighter. In fact, astronomers say you can expect the magnitude 5 comet to brighten to magnitude 4.1 over the next few weeks.
Best viewing conditions for New Year’s Eve will likely involve a bit of luck in not having any cloud cover. In addition, if you’ve got a pair of binoculars or a decent telescope you shouldn’t have any trouble spotting it – in fact, according to Alan MacRobert, senior editor of Sky and Telescope magazine, Lovejoy was clearly visible by using a pair of 10×50 magnification binoculars in a region that had more than its fair share of light pollution.

As you are well aware, there is a considerable amount of turmoil occurring on Planet Earth at present, and many of you are becoming very distressed about it. It is leading up to the moment of your awake...
This message spoke of the sun and what to expect in the days just ahead. They said there was another round of solar flares that were about to begin. I am aware that we are having them right now but they still are not the intensity and the regularity that we will have them in the next three years. The year 2012 was of particular note. They said to watch direct sun exposure during that year. Its not about how much you get but about how much you are accustomed to getting. This is the second or third channel recently where they equate gravity to magnetism but I will say that our sciences do not agree with that as of yet.
The spoke of the recent earthquakes and how it has shifted the earth to a new rotational axis that has changed our experience of time and gravitational pull. They said several interesting items that they said our sciences believe in and some they don't yet know. It will take us years to uncover all the event s that took place in that series of adjustments.
What they did say is that the sun is aligning to once again shower us with a pelt of solar flares. The events that were originally scripted to put a final end to earth are about to happen on a scaled down version with the energy redirected. In fact this coming event has all the ear-markings of the perfect storm in 2012. Only this time Scotty is yelling to Captain Kirk that the shields won't hold as the protective shields of earth known as the magnetosphere now have large holes in them and they are still full of plasma from the last attack. This means we will feel much more of the effects of these flares in our personal world and bodies. They said the emotional bodies we carry are magnetic based and they will vary the most as these fields shift. How much fun is that boys and girls? Can anyone remember why we signed up for this human thing?

Greetings from Home
So much is changing on your planet. Your evolution has now reached such levels that it is even difficult to predict what will happen in the next few weeks. We wish to tell you about a situation taking place on planet Earth that would be very helpful for you to be aware of. About three months ago we shared with you a message called Magnetics in Motion, and during that message we discussed some key points that we would now like to re-visit and explain in further detail.
Magnetic Flux for Three Years
One of these key points was the changing magnetic flux of planet Earth, and how that represents change because humans have been accustomed to a steady magnetic base. When the magnetic fields on planet Earth—-including gravity—start to fluctuate in the years ahead, it will have a direct affect on each and every one of you. Quite honestly, humans do not handle change very well. Often you panic when you hit the change button. Instead of embracing change you freak out and say, “Oh my goodness, there is a change coming! Wait….” Perhaps if we tell you about the changes ahead of time and you be aware of what is coming, you will anticipate them with joy, passion, and excitement rather than experience fear. So, what we wish to tell you today is about some of the changes that each and every one of you will be addressing over the next three years. The next three to four years are going to bring huge changes for every person on this planet, even during and after the magical date of 2012 which you are all looking forward to so much. Integrating all of these new energies afterward will also involve a tremendous amount of change and adaptation for you. Most of what we are going to speak about today has to do with magnetic energy, because that has a direct influence on your emotional state. Many times when the magnetics of the planet are steady, your emotions can remain steady. You have a base emotional energy, or foundation, upon which you can build. As that field begins changing and fluctuating on a daily basis, your own emotional stability seems to be thrown out of balance a little bit and you have more difficulty just finding your center and grounding. This will become very apparent, especially in the year 2012. Let us explain why.
The Set Up
Between the years 2001 to 2006, there were a huge number of solar flares experienced during a normal solar cycle. The flares are basically light energy in the form of magnetic plasma being distributed through the universe. None of those explosions on the sun were pointed directly at Earth. However, if they had been it would have knocked out enormous portions of the grids that allow you to distribute electrical power on your planet. Although many key power grids now have safety measures in place, some of the grids can still be overwhelmed by photon energy coming in through solar flares. This is a form of photo-magnetic plasma that can build up in the outer magnetic shell of Earth called the magnetosphere. Basically, what happens is the shields of Earth are weakened and have not yet sufficiently recovered from the last attack. Even though you experienced numerous extreme class solar flares during those years, you did not have any direct hits. That is about to change because the solar flares are going to start again; they are on a normal cycle currently and are re-activated approximately every 11 or 12 years. This specific cycle was originally designed to put a final end to planet Earth. Although the energy is being redirected it will still have huge effect, because after entering Earth the energy will be held within the planet’s tectonic plates.
Core Issues
Even now you can start to see the sunspots forming, as well as all the other activity occurring in preparation for the next infusion. Is it not interesting that your scientists have just put up a new satellite to watch these extraordinary events unfold over the next few years? They are very excited about it. So are we, because it shows some of the important changes that are taking place. Let us explain what will be happening on the larger scale.
What takes place when you see an eruption on the sun? We tell you that the sun is not what you think it is. It is believed to have a solid core, while the outer edges are gaseous and moving in circles and belts like rotating storms. We tell you instead that the sun is an energy portal that re-directs energy from a multidimensional location. We call that location the central sun, which is the place of first origin in the universe. In other words, when you come from infinity the first place you arrive is called the central sun. When you travel through that, it is the prism that splits you off into these beautiful 11 different rays of light which you experience as your 11 different souls on the planet pretending to be human. This is the part that works with you. During 2001 to 2006, there were so many solar flares and such extensive plasma debris was thrown out into space that just a simple calculation would tell you there is not enough energy remaining within the sun to be doing that. This is about to happen again.
The Weakened Magnetosphere
This particular solar storm does not need to be as difficult as the last one was. It is currently being toned down a bit, because Earth does not need as much of a magnetic push to reach this next level. There is a magnetic push that is coming from the sun during each of these explosions on the sun. The Earth has a magnetic field, and you already know about magnetic ley lines and how this works. You still have not discovered the connection between magnetics and gravity, but we will simply tell you that we have faith that you humans will find it when the time is right. What we want to explain is that as this energy comes in from the central sun through the solar sun and hits the magnetic field of Earth, the interaction is able to charge the Earth effectively while still deflecting the plasma. This protective field is known as the magnetosphere. It is basically a magnetic field around the Earth which has deflected many of the particles coming in from the sun. In fact, it is like a net and has caught many of them. Even to this day the net is heavy with those particles.
The Quickening Pace
Your sciences are just beginning to find out that there are holes and openings in this magnetic shield, which will allow much more of the next round of solar flares to come directly into Earth. We want you to be aware that your connection to the sun is changing. Please be aware that even thought it feels wonderful to be out in the sun, the sun’s rays on your body will have a different effect than they ever have had before—especially during the year 2012 when these solar flares start.
We tell you the solar flares will probably even start before that and may even begin this year. The particular ones that are going to be required to correct the course of Earth and take her to the next level that she needs will take place in the year 2012. We recommend that you monitor your exposure to the sun, especially during that time. One effect of overexposure will be less control of your emotions, but there are many more. The pace is quickening. Everything is beginning to rise very quickly.
Last Call for Life Lessons
It is because of all these events taking place that we are telling you that now is the time for each and every one of you to go within yourself, clear up and release all those old issues that have been repeating in your life over and over again. Until now it has been perfectly fine to hang onto those issues, and even nurture and hold them dear as some of you do because they are part of who you are. However, when these magnetic ripples start coming through Earth and shaking up the base foundation of your emotions, those things will get in the way so quickly. Now is the time to start working with releasing the old systems. Now is the time to release your limiting thoughts about being a human. Now is the time to start stepping into your power in any way you can. Even in small ways you can start carrying the energy of who you truly are, and carry more of your own light in the physical body. This can be done quite simply through your eyes. It can also be done through the sexual energy that you carry in your physical body, for that is the expression of your soul looking out of a beautiful body. So, part of what you are starting to do is to see that your place on planet Earth is changing.
During the 2012 opening of the magnetosphere, solar flares will again charge the core of planet Earth. The earlier round of solar flares basically heated up the center of your planet, and this next one will charge and activate it to a higher state that will permeate every living cell of every being. The planet itself is built on an iron core; around that iron core there is flux, which is energy similar to a liquid iron or liquid metal. It is exactly what you see spew out of the Earth’s volcanoes. The energy from the solar flares has gone all the way to the core and helped to heat it up, making it move at a faster pace than before. The center of the Earth has always traveled at a different pace than the outside of it which is completely independent. Although the Earth’s exterior has a different rotation but because it has sped up, even more of the Earth is starting to expand outward. What you will see is that this liquid area will start expanding outward, and when it hits certain pockets it surfaces as volcanoes. There will be more occurrences as the Earth makes this transition. You will also learn how to fly through them, so they will not cause as much difficulty as they have before. You are still going to see a re-arrangement of some of the tectonic plates, particularly in the Pacific Ocean where an underwater eruption will open a cosmic door and many portals to help planet Earth.. You will see this happening in the years just ahead.
Each and every one of you has an emotional structure that you love to remain stable, but that structure may start fluctuating. The other thing we wish to remind you about is that several years ago we told you there would be a huge wave of sexual energy on this planet, so much so that it would make the 1960s look tame in comparison. That is still coming in a very big way. What is happening is that in places where it is felt, it has been used appropriately. However, in places where people are uncomfortable with this sexual energy running through their being, it will get stuck and cause problems. It is part of the reason you are seeing someone in the news almost daily who had an affair, was unfaithful or had a sexual experience outside of their norm. A lot of this is taking place on planet Earth, as this wave is being felt by the unaware. Now your sensitivity to sexual energy in general will grow and the same energies will be felt.
Your Light from Home
We tell you first of all to be aware of the energy, because that which you perceive cannot surprise you. That which you are expecting will put you in a position to be the light and to hold the door open for other people. Fear is the only problem you are going to have on planet Earth, and you have a tendency to always be afraid of new things. That is human nature and it will be the norm, especially when the multidimensional doors start opening. When they open, if you are looking at the wall and someone walks through the wall because to them there is no wall there, you are going to say, “Oh, this is cool! I need to call my friends to come see this.” But if other people see it, there is liable to be fear and problems experienced on planet Earth. So hold those doors open and speak about them. Let your own energy and light from Home come through every chance you get.
Re-member. . .
You are the ones that wanted to be here at this time no matter the cost. No matter how many lifetimes you tried to do this, you are here now because you have the greatest chance of making a difference on planet Earth. You have a tremendous amount of help behind you waiting to assist in any way and at any chance they can. During this time when this magnetic hole opens up and all this magnetic energy comes into planet Earth, it can shake the foundation of many humans because the emotional structure is magnetically linked to the Earth’s. This is a time for you to be in place with a steady light and a smile on your face, because you know what is coming. You are aware of what is happening and you can be one of the people that hold the energy, or sometimes just one of the people that is there to smile in the midst of all the turmoil. You can help to ground a firm understanding of this energy and take your rightful place on planet Earth, as the teachers and the healers that you truly are. This is what you came here to do in this lifetime and you are right on target, for you would not be in reach of these words if you were not. You have been placed in exactly the perfect position to be in service exactly the way you wish to be and it is taking place now.
Fear is a Four-Letter Word
There will be changes in all levels not just during these three years, although most of the drastic changes that you will experience will be. Understand that different vibrational levels will experience these ripples throughout our reality at different times. Consequently, there will be many adjustments in businesses, corporations, organizations and collective vibrations after that period. Most of them these groups will have a difficult time finding a base energy to build on, because all of your emotional energies will be both so high and low. Now is the time to go in and find those pieces you have been holding back, because they will simply be amplified as this ripple goes through every part of it. Now is the time to take a serious look at things you have been denying yourself, or things you have known deep in your heart but have not spoken. Now is the time to find your truth and who you really are on planet Earth, because when many of these changes start to happen—and of course, there will be fear—it is the reason you have asked to be here at this moment. It is your grace, it is your greatest gift, to be here to be able to do the work you had hoped to do.
Dear ones, we are counting on you.
There will be much fear at any time there is change. Even though you are walking into this whole experience of 2012 with great excitement and anticipation instead of fear, there will still be changes. As those changes happen, re-member that fear can hold back the collective vibration of all humanity. This is the time for you to hold that smile. It is the time for you to hold that light. When these emotions are at their highs and lows and you feel the energy moving, just be aware of them and what it is happening. Hold your knowledge and you will be of service on planet Earth during this great transition.
Open Slate
There is so much that is taking place, dear ones. We wish that we could tell you about all the pieces that are happening. We wish we could tell you exactly what it will be like when you step into 2013, 2014 and 2015, but the truth is that you have not yet decided your destiny. We are not creators that create your world and tell you about it. We are only reflecting what you have created, for you are the greatest teachers, healers and angels that have ever walked this planet. There is a collection of masters walking in physical bodies and most of you do not have a clue. It is about to be evident very quickly, and when it does own your mastery. There is a reason you were given those gifts. You have probably developed them many different lifetimes and worked very hard at them. When you discover them, you will all have a tendency to deny them and to think that it is someone else, not you. When you find that piece you are really good at, own it and make it yours uniquely. Own your mastery, for yours is needed now more than ever before.
It is with the greatest of honor that we leave you with three little reminders. Treat each other with the greatest respect. Nurture one another every chance you get and re-member that it is a beautiful game. Play well together.
Espavo.
