This is an interesting explanation posted on Nasa's APOD:

Great stuff! I'm glad you found this and posted it.

One Love, and PEACE

In the Spirit of Sankofa,

... Now this is interesting, and shows the media isn't the only source all up in the air over this, but also the physics community as well:

Higgs Boson Explained by Cartoon
Illustrations Credit & Copyright: Jorge Cham, PHD Comics
Explanation: What is all this fuss about the Higgs boson? The physics community is abuzz that a fundamental particle expected by the largely successful Standard Model of particle physics may soon be found by the huge Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Europe. The term boson refers to a type of fundamental particle with similarities to the photon, while Higgs refers to Peter Higgs, a physicist who among others published research predicting the mechanism through which such a particle might act. The above animated cartoon explains in humorous but impressive detail why theHiggs boson is expected, and one method that the Large Hadron Collider is using to find it. Although some rumors hint that preliminary traces of the Higgs boson are already being found, even not findingthis unusual particle would open the door to a new fundamental understanding of how our universe works.

Gorilla's same link source...

But this is what gets me about science, even if the God particle isn't found, this would only "open the door to new fundamental understanding" of how the universe works... lol, this could be never ending.

Peace In,

In the Spirit of Sankofa,

... Its all up in the air at this point, I've posted three (3) different articles on it. Also, Gorilla pointed out possible confusion created by media reaction.

Peace In,

Yes, they, the media, are playing like the Universal Field Theory has finally been found

Science is likely never ending, assuming all other things standing.

Actually, they have backed off a bit saying they have found it. Apparently all the points havent been proven

..

I noticed that as well. If they had already proved the existence of the God Particle, why all the premature media hype? I suspect, tomorrow, we will find out nothing we did not already know, et al, that scientists have measured effects of what they believe to be the God Particle, but have not measured the actual particle itself. Which means this is all a PR campaign to justify the billions of USD already spent. They have to provide something after all the ubiquitous defense from the scientific community praising the obscenely expensive LHC.
