Higgs boson particle discovered, isn’t taken seriously by Comic Sans
Here’s a bit of light (and exciting!) news for this Independence Day holiday – CERN has today revealed at an international press conference that, at long last, preliminary results suggest that the elusive theoretical particle called the Higgs boson (also known as the “God Particle” to some) has been observed by CERN scientists. The Higgs boson, according to theory, is what gives much matter it’s mass.
Comic Sans - the international font of science.
All that is fine and dandy, of course, but what’s most interesting about this announcement is CERN’s choice of font used on the slide revealing this breakthrough – none other than our good friend Comic Sans. Nothing like announcing one of the largest discoveries physics has ever seen in Comic Sans, eh?
