Ok... what do we do now?

How long until anti-gravity?

>In my view, if it looks like the Higgs, smells like the Higgs and is exactly what we expected from the Higgs, then it's the Higgs. Nobel prizes all round."

Dis nigga

alright, I'll be the guy to ask. what the fuck does this all mean?

>> No.4837373

Who's going to get the nobel prize? Peter Higgs, who theorised it, or CERN, who 'found' it?

The two teams of researchers working at the Large Hadron Collider have independently gathered experimental evidence of a new particle. It is confirmed to be a boson, but to maintain scientific rigor they don't want to state definitively that it is the specific boson that Higgs described (despite sharing many characteristics). There is a possibility it could be a boson which acts differently than the higgs, which would more or less change our understanding of how physics operates. However, as of right now, if it does turn out to be the Higgs boson then that will just mean that we have experimentally confirmed what theorists worked out decades ago; which is the explanation for all physical action in the universe. Also known as "The Standard Model". In theory, using the standard model, one could accurately describe all interactions between every particle in the universe (with some limitations).
