MK fridaykaimin THE OTHER VICTIM Volume CXV Issue 23 UM’s Independent Campus Newspaper Since 1898 @KaiminNews October 5, 2012 Montana Kaimin 2 OPINION Friday, October 5, 2012 SCIENCE COLUMN EDITORIAL CARTOON THE HUME’N EXPERIENCE Thinking like a scientist By Alice Martin A Higgs boson walks into a church wearing a priest’s robe and starts trying to run the service. Angrily, one of the actual priests tells it to get out. What does the Higgs boson say in return? “But without me, you can’t have mass.” If you laughed, you’re either a science geek or genuinely enjoy terrible puns (both in my case). But the truth of the matter is, the in- teractions between culture and scientific knowledge — in this case, physics — are much more complex than the punch line of a joke or the text on a goofy meme.
