Day old news I just caught

But this could be some serious shit

It's just a rumor it doesn't mean they discovered it and honestly its not even that special I don't know why it would be such a big find

YEAH GOOD MORNING

HAPPY GOD PARTICLE DAY

From a dude working there:

Quote

Actually, we observed a new state at 125 GeV and it seems consistent with a Standard Model Higgs boson. We have NOT discovered the SM Higgs boson because we simply haven't confirmed that this new particle is the SM Higgs because we're only looking at mass itself. It could be something else with a mass of 125 GeV. To actually claim it is the SM Higgs, we need to confirm that it has spin 0, the right coupling ratios, etc. And that's what I'm working on right now. But it is very exciting because we have discovered new physics.

they said they havent dialed it in to 5sigma certainty yet. more like 2.5sigma.

I really hope this doesn't turn out like the whole "neutrinos faster than light" debacle and they just end up saying "oops it was a sensor malfunction". BTW where were the new reports saying that neutrinos were in fact NOT faster than light? screw you media.

Looks Legit, now it is a waiting game to see if physics broke the universe.

If this is the god particle found, I hope it destroys religion.

I'm more worried about building a mini star, one basketball shaped star could destroy the solar system. But really think about it... All those futuristic movies, and shit like Titan A.E. or others could becone possible reality if we really could harness the ability to make these particles.

Titan A.E. was such a huge fucking disappointment for me.

Im all for oh I dunno a system of space travel when you punch in coordinates and travel through some wormhole type thing to other planets. If only there was something like that.

First of all the technology of our time is terrible. The media sees it as something amazing but its really nothing special. Weren't we supposed to be using flying cars around 2001?

Right Wingers are now eating crow.

Al Gore was right about the existance of the "God" particle.
