The Pioneer Anomaly & Other Breaking Physics News 100
David Harris, editor-in-chief at Symmetrymagazine.org (a joint publication of Fermilab and SLAC), sends us to his blog covering the American Physical Society meeting now going on in St. Louis. Among the breaking physics news relating to topics we have discussed in the past: results that explain about 1/3 of the Pioneer anomaly by differential heat flow in the spacecraft; an analysis of the Fermilab Tevatron's chances of spotting the Higgs "God particle"; and a hint that an Italian team has replicated their results from the year 2000 pointing to a detection of dark matter.

See Tesla [1][2], Lyne[1], Silvertooth[3] and many others.
Oh, but aether has become a term that is a no-no.. so let's call it dark energy, dark matter, the zero point field, etc.
Currently no university is teaching the real work of Maxwell, but rather the simplified (and lacking!) version by Heaviside.

It's going to be a close race. On one hand, the LHC will ramp up to have a huge advantage over the Tevatron. On the other hand, the Tevatron folks are at the top of their game.

I'm amazed that currently no comment on this article contains the word "boson". I've heard it called the Higgs boson more times than I have the "god particle". Maybe it's just the media I choose to read/watch.
