After all, the chances are much lower of me winning the jackpot... but hey it happens o.o In practice, the probability of error is much larger than implied from the 5 sigma. This is due to many error sources not being gaussian, and human factors. (see neutrino 6 sigma signal which turned out to be a loose cable.) With some luck, they will build a linear colldier to study the higgs further, and then they will notice if it's not there.  | ||
