Probably the most important discovery in physics since the theory of relatively.

This is a great animated cartoon that explains the Higgs boson particle for those of us who need a little help with this stuff!

It's the unexpected data and discoveries that are the coolest!



Two Higgs Bosons? CERN Scientists Revisit Large Hadron Collider Particle Data

A month ago scientists at the Large Hadron Collider released the latest Higgs boson results. And although the data held few obvious surprises, most intriguing were the results that scientists didn’t share.

The original Higgs data from back in July had shown that the Higgs seemed to be decaying into two photons more often than it should—an enticing though faint hint of something new, some sort of physics beyond our understanding. In November, scientists at the Atlas and LHC experiments updated everything except the two-photon data. This week we learned why. What they seem to have found is bizarre—so bizarre, in fact, that physicists assume something must be wrong with it.
