a widening gap between the richest one percent and the rest of the population a little later a former wall street trader tells us that corruption in the political arena has to end for there to be real change in the u.s. . there is one general theme that unites all of occupy it is that money and politics has sort of corrupted the system to the extent that everything is broken so i do think that that is their biggest challenge is how do we sort of pull back on that and how do we how do we fight one of my favorite signs and t. shirts i've seen and i saw a bunch of this on may day was someone was wearing a shirt that said i can't afford a lobbyist so i occupy wall street i mean there's been studies that have shown that the sort of bottom third of the income bracket have no say have no influence over their elected officials the middle third something the top third has the most say so i do think that this is a big byproduct of the sort of corruption and of money and politics is the occupy movement. and you can catch that

3:23 am
some of the gaps in our understanding of how the universe works well the dominant theory physicists work with has the less than grandiose title of the standard model now if we think of our theory as a jigsaw with a whole load of pieces missing finding out that the higgs does exist would allow those gaps to be filled in giving scientists a clearer picture of what is in front of them this particle or sort of the holes or one it was not planned to experiment on people was hunting quarters particles for years and now we are witnessing clearly historical one one of the reasons for such advancements in this area of physics is the large hadron collider the work done at the twenty five kilometer long particle accelerator under the border between france and switzerland has been crucial to furthering our knowledge of what makes the universe tick all for the tidy sum of two point six billion dollars despite
