Since you know why the f stop numbers are what they are and you can still expose film and make a 50 year old camera work, you might be asked about the Higgs Boson. This Wired article and its links is excellent.

I think the real question is how can this discovery be used to improve camera technology?

How do they know it's Higgs' boson anyway? it could be anybody's ... did they eventually find it down the back of Peter's sofa? which is where they should have looked in the first place ... I'd have said

will this help us to create a better camera bag?

How to take best shots of Higgs Boson with a rangefinder? Which camera-lens combo works best? ;-)

A Higgs-Bboson walks into a liturgical church.
Priest hurries over and says, "I'm very, very sorry, but we don't allow Higgs-Bosons in here."
HB: "But, without me, you can't have mass!"

Last I heard, a Neutron was made up of three quarks, so it isn't a "fundamental particle"...
This is pretty cool, I haven't read the Wired article, but I've seen rumblings around the web about finding the final piece to the Standard Model.

They do not know that for sure yet, actually (though it is the most probable scenario). If anybody is interested in details just check the public webpage of CERN on this topic.

How about "two iphones walk into a bar"... (Don't get this one myself)
or
An infinite number of mathematicians walk i nto a bar. the first one asks for a drink, the second for half a drink, the third wants a quarter of a drink, as so on. The bartender puts two drinks on the bar as says "I hope you guys know your limits".

By far a more entertaining and better explanation of Higgs Cartier Boson can be found here:

(it really gets good around 0:37 as the first of many cameras is featured)

Bozons found finally, heh? ... the question now whether the Morions, Idions and Imbeccillions will be found..

Thanks for the video link, that will make a good follow up video.

This really is a very good explanation and very entertaining. I enjoyed also the Lexx video Glenn gave the link to. I wouldn't have minded hearing, or rather, seeing one or two more of that young woman's questions.

Must be one helluva macro lens they have at CERN. I'm sure it's Nikon.
