CERN's discovery of a new particle (possibly the Higgs Boson) has passed peer review.

Looks like whatever they found is officially considered real now.


All that's left to do is test to see if it's really the Higgs Boson and see how the Standard Model of particle physics holds up.

    Awesome.



    Also, I love the "becomes actual science" in the headline.

    Yeti and the Higgs boson play poker. Who wins? Yeti. Everyone knows Higgs boson isn't real.

    What if the particle turns out to not be the Higgs but something completely unexpected?



    Because Zenni's post is making me think that's a possibility

    It's safe to assume that it is, but if it isn't then particle physics is going to be in major overhaul.
