I heard a very brief mention on the radio not very long ago that
European researchers (at CERN?) had confirmed discovery of the
Z0 particle.  I am not terribly well informed when it comes to
this specific inmate of the subatomic zoo, but I recall hearing
predictions quite some time ago that if this particle were discovered
to actually exist, much theory of atomic structure would be "proven"
and it would lead to a unification of the weak and strong nuclear
forces with the electromagnetic force.  I think the reason it took
so long to discover is that it is VERY massive.  Does anyone know
anything else on the topic?  If so, please post it.
