Hairy DJ Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Essay: Nature's Secrets Foretold - Science Newshttp://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/341991/title/Essay_Natures_secrets_foretold "Their success illustrates a further meaningfulness of the Higgs discovery: It validates the scientific enterprise as a way of knowing nature.
