HOW IRONIC*$%@ cern revises statement on higgs boson and sayswhat they found is god particle imposter. LUCIFER PARTICLE?
[link to nbcu.mo2do.net]

When CERN announced the discovery of a new particle last week, it was very, very careful to not explicitly call that particle the Higgs boson, instead citing "strong evidence" for the discovery of "a particle consistent with the Higgs boson." Now we know why: a new analysis suggests that CERN's data may show an "impostor" particle, and not the Higgs.

The way that the Large Hadron Collider finds new particles isn't by observing the particles themselves, which (in the case of the Higgs) don't last long enough to be detected directly. Instead, the LHC detects all of the stuff that the Higgs decays into. Of course, lots of other things decay into that stuff, too, so you have to run experiments over and over again to gain statistical confidence that you're looking at something new and not just a combination of things that you've seen before. We've got more info on that process here.

What CERN announced last week was the discovery of a new particle in the correct mass range to be the Higgs, but further analysis of the data from particle physicists at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois suggests that CERN is just about as likely to have found evidence for more exotic varieties of the Higgs particle, called Higgs doublets or Higgs triplets. These "impostor" Higgs particles are part of a non-Standard Model interpretation of the Higgs concept, where a bunch of different Higgs-type particles (instead of just one) are together responsible for the Higgs field.

Based on the data that CERN has presented so far, the researchers found that statistically speaking, "a generic Higgs doublet and a triplet imposter give equally good ts to the measured event rates" that CERN suggests are evidence for the more traditional Higgs boson. In fact, while the Standard Model Higgs does make for a slightly better fit to the data overall, one statistical measure does put the triplet impostor ahead.

While it seems most likely (at least by a little bit) that we are looking at the Higgs and not something stranger, the point here is that CERN doesn't know a whole lot about what's going on quite yet.

There's something new out there, and it could definitely be the Higgs boson, but it's going to take a lot more work before we're able to find definitive proof. And in the mean time, there's still a realistic chance that the Higgs (or whatever this is) could turn out to be way, way

I'm loosing confidence in these cern people.
First it was "FTL", then not.
and now God Particle, and then not.

and they have spent how many billions?

What good is all this? This won't even unburn my toast.

The anti god

Maybe it's dark matter or something

CERN just needs to determine this in order for us to get our new toys. Three unque strong force gluons.
Three unique photons.

Direction. Ghost Dimension.

According to quantum mechanics, they'll find whatever they look for. But as soon as they measure it, it will disappear.

According to the Gnostics, satan particle might be a better name for it! I'll let you do the research!

The true 'God' particle is the Liebnizian monad, which can never be physically observed or discovered, as it is of the dimensionless realm (science dismisses this realm, so they refute this, religious fanatics dismiss it because their 'holy' texts doesnt mention it).

A good book describing these concepts is 'The God Game'

What, you don't like the PISTON ENGINE?
You don't like progress?
What's the matter with you?
