It's so hard to understand how difficult and long this search was for someone who was never involved with it. =S | ||

Could you imagine, if you make a prediction about something and 50 years later, over 4000 people have worked to show that you were, in fact, correct? | ||

ATLAS already has a bit over 3K. Then there's CMS and the general LHC staff managing the accelerator. Of course the LHC is the third particle accelerator that has tried to find the Higgs boson. LEP (at CERN, using the same tunnel the LHC is now in) and Tevatron (at Fermilab in the US) have tried before. | ||

PS: Partying physicists are kinda cute. lol. <3 | ||

I, in no way, want to diminish the work of the other people involved. Also, there are countless numbers of people who donated their computing power to process the data as well who we haven't factored in. | ||

He might. But I think the data pretty much is speaking for him, and all of the important things he said decades ago. | ||
