Higgs probably found, at last!

[RavenSEAL]

We should have known this years ago (decade?), too bad we pulled funding on the SSC.

2 Billion dollars wasted...wow.

Well the LHC found something, but it wasn't the Higgs.

PARIS — The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), famously engaged in the quest for the Higgs boson, has turned up a heavier variant of a sub-atomic particle first discovered a quarter-century ago, scientists reported on Thursday.
The newcomer is called Chi-b(3P), which was uncovered in the debris from colliding protons, according to research published in the open-access online journal arxiv.
Like the elusive Higgs and the photon, it is a boson, meaning it is a particle that carries force.
But while the Higgs is not believed to be made of smaller particles, the Chi-b(3) comprises two relatively heavy particles, the beauty quark and its antiquark.

god damn quarks, always getting in the way!

are all of the answers for these particle physicists just...more particles? "Why does the nuclear weak force work this way? Well, I think there might be a particle!" "Why is gravity so much weaker than all the other forces? Well, it's probably because of a particle!" "Why is _____________? A particle!"

And 114 years ago, the discovery of the electron was "just a particle." Where would we be now without that discovery??

Not sure if serious!

Maybe this is because this is how the universe works?! This is like saying are all the answers for these authors just...more words?

When all you have is a hammer, your problems start to look like nails.

Now let's all go bludgeon a string theorist.
