I think to put this in layman's terms what was said is:
"We saw something we didn't expect, are not sure what it is, but if it is true we were wrong about some basic assumptions."
"Now lets go figure it out!"
Does that sound about right to everyone?
The level of statistical significance in the data now is just over three standard deviations, which means that the chance of it being a random anomaly is less than 1 in 1,000.

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?
Thank you for the link when I try to post it ATS tells me I have used up all my time 4hrs. to edit?! I edited the first post one time it took like 3 minutes! this is the second time this has happen lol

whoa.
"The Higgs-boson is a piece that goes into the puzzle that we already have," said Punzi. "Whereas this is something that goes a little bit beyond that -- a new interaction, a new force."

Could a new force of nature also be referring to free energy?
