Sad that the discussion is on the media hype title and not the actual published paper itself. Maybe now the Higgs has been "found" people are out trawling old data for oddities that can fit into the theoretical expanded Standard Model that contains particles, anti particles, "dark" particles (to prove/explain dark matter/energy). So they're taking these hypothetical unifying theories and looking for pieces that can fit or pushed into them. Has the Higgs even been found? I thought it was a bump that was in between the two precise energy values it "had" to be in order to support competing theories. I thought they just found an energy bump nearby and called it the Higgs even though it wasnt exactly where the models suggested while other particles were always exactly where predicted. Something seems wrong there or is my understanding out?
