so this does sound like what could become quite a big breakthrough for POSSIBLE understanding of how parts of particles like quarks acquire their huge mass, and what makes up dark matter. i have been reading up, and alot of theoretical physicists still believe this isnt the actual 'higgs' that they have found. there is so many other things it could be like Neutrino oscillation and super symmetry. the higgs boson is just a theoretical answer to what invisible force collects particles together to give particles their variable mass
Because atoms have so many more particles inside, we only know the findings of this possible HIGGS LIKE 'force' to be a undiscovered breakthrough yet. The LHC will bet shut down at the end of this year and then tuned up to create a higher energy so the scientists can futher understand the decay of colliding protons together.
if these undiscovered forces like Higgs were not here to be discovered to essentially create the mass of particles then everything would be these non atomic particles in space that are just flying around at lightyear speed which is what is believed to be the likes of dark matter and dark energy. interesting stuff yah ^_^
^ thats the discovery what they are all going crazy about... LOLWTF?
