I understand that they seem to have found an elusive particle and can now back it up with enormous amounts of data and tech. they prove that it exists because they can now "see" after years of research and work. BUT, what does the higgs boson prove? will it's existence change anything? will it bring about leaps in technology? Explain the origin of the universe (big bang?)? What does this mean? Thank you! | ||

That was for just one decay channel, there are a total of 5 that are discussed separately. The combined significance should go up. | ||

It means someone gets tenure at the university of his/her choice and a crack at the Nobel prize for physics. Beyond that? It may in fact lead to greater understanding of the universe. | ||
