Well, actually, to be more scientific, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking is betting against the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, on the Swiss-French border, finding conclusive evidence of the Higgs boson, the primary reason it was built.
We’ll see. Remember, Hawking is a cosmologist, not a particle physicist.
And, he’s certainly right that plenty of other physics discoveries mean the LHC won’t be a “failure,” no matter what.

Hot atomic physics to get colder than outer space
The “queer” world of quantum physics is so out of the ordinary that the highest of high-speed impacts to be generated starting next month at the new Large Hadron Collider near Geneva requires each of its eight sectors be cooled to cooler than interstellar space, at -271º Celsius, just two degrees above absolute zero.
