Did Homer Simpson discover the HIGGS BOSON? Maths in 1998 episode predicts particle's mass 14 years before CERN
- Author and physicist Dr Simon Singh found a formula for the mass of the Higgs boson written on a blackboard during an episode of The Simpsons
- In The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace, Homer Simpson becomes an inventor
- Dr Singh says The Simpsons contains more maths than any other TV show
- He
says it is amazing that Homer appears to have predicted the mass of the
Higgs boson long before the Large Hadron Collider gave us proof it
existed
- Jokes about calculus, pi and Fermat's last theorem appear in the cartoon
- Many of the script writers for the cartoon are known to be mathematicians
