" scientists said they believed they had found"

Not to bust the bubble but this statement should be highlighted seeing as its glanced over for the bulk of the article.

The gist of it is that they discovered concretely a new particle that is in a very specific mass range thought to belong to the Higgs. The properties of the particle must still be determined before it can be definitively said whether or not the new particle is the Higgs.

Oh, and you're over 12 hours late. Check OTS where I jizzed my pants.

They didnt find shit.

I don't really keep up on this kind of stuff, but can someone explain to me what this particle is or does?

So far all it does is eat 2.5 billion in research.

Basically if it exists it confirms the last 40 years of high-energy particle physics and various theories; if it does not exist, a bunch of people are going back to the drawing board. I know, a crude summary, but pretty much why it is important to see if it exists or not...

And what does that mean if it confirms what you just said? Why is it such a big deal? Does it create a nuclear bomb? Prove their is no God?

If it is the higgs, it is the manifestation of the highs field which gives things mass.

And, dg, these separate results clearly and independently show a particle that is new has been discovered.
