You Probably Know This Already

I have done some reading up on Higgs Boson and bosonic mechanism in particle physics. Because it is in the news today. Physicists are hoping to see Higgs soon, meaning any day. Higgs is also known as the "God particle." It is a sub-atomic particle, of course.

In short,
Wait, it isn't short. Let me quote:

Higgs Boson is a key component of the "Standard Model" - the all-encompassing theory developed by physicists of how the cosmos as we know it works at its basic level of particles and forces.

But until now, in the four decades since it was first posited, no one has convincingly claimed to have glimpsed the Higgs Boson, let alone proved that it actually exists.

At an eagerly awaited briefing on Tuesday at the CERN research centre near Geneva, two independent teams of "Higgs Hunters" were widely expected to suggest they were fairly confident they had spotted it.

But not confident enough, in the physics world of ultra-precision where certainty has to be measured at nothing less than 100 percent, to announce "a discovery."

In the jargon, this level is described as 5 sigma, which would exclude the possibility that the results recorded by the ATLAS and CMS teams at CERN - the 21-nation European Organisation for Nuclear Research - are a fluke.

Not the end of the story, but the end of the quote.

You can thank me later.
