At 3 a.m. ET Wednesday, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) are set to announce their latest findings in the search for the elusive Higgs boson.
The secrecy surrounding Wednesday's announcement has fuelled speculation that nearly 40 years of research have reached a climax.
Joseph Incandela of the University of California Santa Barbara is set to take the stage at 3 a.m. ET (9 a.m. CEST), followed by CERN's Dr. Fabiola Gianotti at 3:45 and Rolf Heuer at 4:30. The National Post will be providing updates as news comes in.
Auditorium filling up fast for #Higgs seminar, first in line were physicists from @princeton & @Cornell - they arrived at 10:45 last night!

(@CERN) July 04, 2012CERN scientists have been smashing particles together at near light-speed at the laboratory near Geneva to try to get a glimpse of the Higgs, the missing piece of the fundamental theory of physics known as the Standard Model, and have already come tantalizingly close to finding proof of its existence.
The news the science world is waiting for is to hear if researchers have collected a mass of evidence big enough to be deemed a formal discovery.
Doors about to open for the #Higgs seminar @CERN. #ICHEP2012 already warming up to the event!
