Re: Higgs Boson

Links?


Be sure to say when/if they actually confirm it, I don't pay enough attention to catch these things in the news, but it is interesting for me to follow.
Would mean an awful lot to the science community if there was conclusive evidence lmao, +1 to Standard Model

Re: Higgs Boson

Well let's not forget going from 3 sigma to 5 sigma is an enormous leap. Still, the fact that we (as humans) have already gotten to 3 sigma on something so quickly is pretty impressive.

Here's some more links, for those of you who want to jump into this -
Probably the article Rubix is referring to
lol statistics

also,

It is estimated that al least another year working with the LHC will be needed to get to that level of confidence, if at all.

Hold tight folks x_x

Edit: This is only sorta related but also pretty cool
