Well this year will be known as the year that the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN was turned on. Will we find the Higgs Boson? Will we finally have data that supports Supersymmetry? For now enjoy these videos on the ATLAS detector:
ATLAS, A New Hope
ATLAS, The Particle Strikes Back (Part I)

"I'm a fan of supersymmetry, largely because it seems to be the only route by which gravity can be brought into the scheme. It's probably not even enough, but it's a way forward to get gravity involved. If you have supersymmetry, then there are more of these particles.
