[Wired] Physics Community Afire With Rumors of Higgs Boson Discovery

Quote:
In the rigorous world of high-energy physics, researchers wait to see a 5-sigma signal, which has only a 0.000028 percent probability of happening by chance, before claiming a “discovery.”

The latest Higgs rumors suggest nearly-there 4-sigma signals are turning up at both of the two separate LHC experiments that are hunting for the particle. As physicist Philip Gibbs points out on his blog, Vixra log, if each experiment is seeing a 4-sigma signal, then this is almost definitely the long-sought particle. Combining the two 4-sigma results should be enough to clear that 5-sigma hurdle.

Getting close!

I have no idea what the Higgs Boson is but after a quick look on Wikipedia it said something about understanding gravity. If this isn't a rumor and it is true does this mean that some time in the future anti-gravity/gravity machines will be invented? I've wanted some gravity machines for many years to make driving and flying simulators even more realistic.

Th "higgs" is the particle that gives all other particles "mass" it is and would be the most important scientific discovery ( when it comes to the universe lol )
It is the last particle to be discovered to complete the standard model biggrin.gifthumb.gif

The Higgs Boson explains gravity... proving it exists just validates that our understanding of the universe is correct. Mass is predicted to be due to this particle "clinging" to other particles.


Practical applications are very well removed from this type of fundamental research.
