whusean Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 What is the significance if these are produced at CERN. What will this mean for the world of physics??
insane_alien Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 it will mean that certain theories about the fundemental nature of the universe can be discarded and other ones can be investigated further. beyond that, no body can say for sure.
mr.spaceman Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 CERN announced discovery of Higgs Boson http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2012/jul/04/higgs-boson-discovered-live-coverage-cern
insane_alien Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 woo the wild number of hypotheses about the universe has been drastically reduced. still loads of them left. now we can concentrate on finding out the properties of this particle and the consequences it has for theory.
alpha2cen Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 CERN announced discovery of Higgs Boson http://www.guardian....e-coverage-cern This discovery importance is a finding(5 or 6 sigma data better) a particle related to the background - unseen world.
Gaylord Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I think it means that non-tenured string theorists will have to start refreshing their resumes.
Severian Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I think it means that non-tenured string theorists will have to start refreshing their resumes. The Higgs boson is perfectly compatible with string theory.
Cyph3r Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I actually agree The Higgs Boson actually would make testing for String theory much easier and maybe even produce results which could put string theory even further since mass is stringy after all (jk until evidence proves otherwise).
