If it's the Higgs it will be insane. When you measure the subatomics they have no volume. They appear to be only a small packet of energy, yet they behave as if they have mass. It is the Higgs that is thought to give quarks and the like their mass... One needn't ponder long to dream up some major scientific and technological implications.edit on 6-4-2011 by Fiberx because: (no reason given)
What would be the implications? Free energy? Time travel? I'm not exactly sure why this is so ground breaking?

Makes me wonder if there is any practical application for this new force. Something us non-scientist can wrap our heads around.

Dont quote me on this but i was told by a source that they have discovered the graviton, dont ask me what it is because i dont know, i aint no scientist, but thought id just drop that in here.... exciting none the less
Found this, info about what the Graviton is

UPDATE: Okay, I won't wait 5PM FNAL time after all, since I see that other online resources are already discussing it -including the New York Times online, which quotes the co- CDF spokesperson, Giovanni Punzi. I will let the previous post with the same title live below, but here I am attaching something on top.
The authors saw that their background to WW/WZ events was not modeled very precisely, and investigated the high-mass region with more care. They were in for a surprise. The bump was not a ephemeral feature of the data, and simulations of the background could not explain it away. This started a much deeper investigation, which eventually led to the paper you can read on the preprint arxiv today.

GOD particles? what? What are you talking about. You breath in particles of dust in the air every day. Were you reffirring to the sub atomic level or lower? a particle i can see and hold in my hand. I have many sand particles on my kitchen floor. GOD PARTICLE. he,he,he,he,he,he
oops, sorry double post.edit on 6-4-2011 by cloaked4u because: (no reason given)

again, i repeat. sub-atomic or lower or the particles on my kitchen floor. Does that clarify things better.
