HIGGS BOSON -- The Higgs Boson on Tshirts

Who understands particle physics? Not many of us! But that doesn't mean we can't LOOK smart when we wear a t-shirt hailing the latest discovery in the world of quarks, dark matter, strings and E=mc2. In case you don't know, the Higgs boson, according to Wikipedia, is "is an elementary particle whose possible discovery was announced on July 4, 2012. It was predicted by a theory in physics called the Standard Model. It is one of the 16 fundamental particles as devised by the standard model.The others being the 6 Quarks 6 Leptons and 3 other Bosons and the last being the Higgs Boson." And to that, I say...um...okay. Not to mention, there are also some funny Higgs boson tshirts out there, some punny ones, because the Higgs boson has to do with matter, and is sometimes called the "God particle". So without further explanation or ado, here are some Higgs boson tshirts for all you physicists and wannabes out there!

This one is funny and a bit geeky:

Here's one that plays with the "God particle" concept: Higgs Boson Is My Co Pilot Particle Physics Humor Tee Shirts

Here's a pun on the word "mass", connecting religion and science:

This equation is the Standard Model of particle physics. Fair warning: I wouldn't wear this one unless I could explain it. Just sayin':

"A Vote For Higgs-Boson Is A Vote For God." This one is probably made by a non-physics major, but still.
