i am sorry to ask a question now when you scientists are all closely listening to this announcement.
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? [that the current model of particle physics (the standard model) is on track.] will it's existence change anything? [not much. was expected by many, if not most.] will it bring about leaps in technology? [Nope.] Explain the origin of the universe (big bang?)? [A small step closer maybe, but not really groundbreaking I'd say.] What does this mean? [PARTY AT CERN EVERYONE INVITED!!! :D]

Thank you!



lmao thanks man. i would love to party with scientists!

Yeah, I really hope Atlas has similar significant results and I think they will

haha, would suck if ATLAS just has nothing at all in any channel.

So which person are they going to give the Nobel prize? 5000 people?


My guess is, it will depend a great deal on whose names are on the final monograph published in the appropriate journals. Then, too, they could just give it to CERN. (The Physics prize. I don't see this as Peace prize material - it doesn't really fall into the realm of the Peace prize.)

I think he said there was a 5.1 sigma after the first four channels.

He's doing the
Higgs -> tau lepton, tau lepton channel.

On a random tangent, imagine how funny it would be if one day there were a super important thing verified to 5-6+ sigma, and then later it turned out the very slight nonzero chance of error actually occurred. After all, the chances are much lower of me winning the jackpot... but hey it happens o.o

All combined the data from the 5 channels that they are sensitive to, they hit 4.9 sigma.

ATLAS has 4.3 sigma global significance.

The mass of the Higgs boson = 125.3 +/- 0.6 GeV

You would have to have some pretty damn super proof of that - not that it couldn't happen, just that everyone you're proving wrong and most other people with less of a stake but an understanding of the statistical probabilities will take a lot of convincing. If they can be convinced. Some breakthroughs take the death or retirement of the "old guard" to come to light.

The standard model is a lot prettier than the alternatives.

Can someone please explain all this lol. I really want to understand, but lack the physics knowledge to decipher this code...
