...powerful particle accelerator, at Fermilab in Illinois, runs at 1 TeV.) The added juice allows scientists to get closer to the high energy that existed after the Big Bang. And high energies are needed, because the Higgs is thought to be quite heavy. (In Einstein's famous equation E=MC2, C represents the speed of light, which is constant; so in order to find high-mass particles, or M, you need high energies, E.) It's possible, of course, that even at such high energies, the Higgs boson will not be found. It may not exist...

...flat in Bern, Switzerland, where he lived as a young man for nearly two years, is open to visitors. Einstein resided at Kramgasse 49 in 1905, during his annus mirabilis - the miraculous year in which he devised theories to explain Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect and special relativity (E=mc2). The then 26-year-old described it as the time when "a storm broke loose in my mind." The museum features original furnishings and some turn-of-the-century physics-lab equipment, along with photos of Einstein and copies of his notes and speeches. Tickets...

Most physicists do not come up with their theories after a long night of partying. Most physicists have never been compared the Sex Pistols. And most physicists believe that E=mc2...

...visiting Watch Hill, R.I. I saw him standing at the end of the pier gazing into a bright sunset, which made his hair appear to be a brilliant golden halo. Over the years, I have supposed that his thoughts that evening were of the significance of E=mc2. JOHN E. GOMENA Pacific City...
