I think that they need to find out where it fits into the standard model first.

This. 

They are not exactly calling it the Higgs Boson just yet, only that it seems pretty similar. 

Regardless, this is a huge discovery. 

They are 99.999% certain they discovered a new particle, I believe.

So wait, is it Official SUPER DUPER 5 sigma yet, or still 4 sigma discovery and holding?

For the less informed, can someone explain why this discovery is important? Does this change anything?

Before stuff (matter) existed with weight (mass) simply just because, but we could only explain in theory why. Enter: Higgs Boson (really really really really hard to find). Now there is an explanation to why things have mass.

About as simple an explanation i can think of.
