The first photo posted on the World Wide Web was nothing special at all when it was posted on July 18, 1992. It's the backstory of the photo that is very interesting because it has a direct tie-in to CERN, The European Organization for Nuclear Research that has been in the news lately for it's possible discovery of the Higgs boson particle, which some call the 'god' particle... a particle that could hold the key to the creation of the universe.
