"This is a country of conflicting messages, of economic growth and decapitated heads. It is the United States’ third-largest trading partner and a majority middle-class country, but one held back by corruption, impunity, poverty, red tape, monopolies and a culture of discomfort with confrontation."

Circulation
$$\vec{r}\times \vec{\delta \phi}$$
$$\vec{\delta r}$$
The first equation represents circulation, the second translation.
Circulation is real motion, "motion" in one dimension, is not.
Bejan's Constructal Law, applies to both, but energy stored as in gyroscopes, is the natural source of what I call real motion.
From elementary particles to black holes, from tornadoes to galaxies, rotation stores energy, translational motion changes direction when stored rotational motion, is in the way. All known forces involve circulation. Gravitons have spin 2, Photons, Gluons, and Intermediate Mesons, 1.
What is the Higgs doing there?
Giving mass, whatever that means.
I expect more clarity when this particle is well identified.
This Summer?
Maybe.

Hoodies in Naperville
Today I saw two young men wearing hoodies!
Bravo, one should not be afraid of being black, or Latino, or white. All the colors are needed for a rainbow!
