Higgs!

Cern scientists revealing results from the Large Hadron Collider have claimed the discovery of a new particle consistent with the Higgs boson.


The particle has been the subject of a 45-year hunt to explain how matter attains its mass.


Both of the two Higgs-hunting experiments at the LHC on the Franco-Swiss border have reached a level of certainty worthy of a "discovery".


More work will be needed to be certain that what they see is a Higgs, however.


Both teams claimed they had seen a "bump" in their data corresponding to a particle weighing in at about 125-126 gigaelectronvolts (GeV) - about 130 times heavier than the proton at the heart of every atom.


Yaay?

Is it irony we might have discovered how life comes to be the year the world is supposed to end?

Meh, we've got a Higgs field at the bottom of our road. would have been simpler to just ask us we could have just dug some up.

Though on the plus side, there's never been a better time to pull a lady physicist, they'll be sopping at this news, just saying

COMIC SAAAAAAAAANS!
