- mythz 14y agoThey have indeed discovered a Higgs Boson they're just not sure if its "the Standard Model" Higgs Boson yet.
- kmm 14y agoThe have discovered a boson, but it's unknown what it is. There's just three things we know about the new particle. Its mass, its charge (0) and that it has integer spin (0 or 2).
