Maybe they found it.  The results are preliminary and incomplete, and the energy range is somewhat on the high side to properly validate the standard model.

Remember the Neutrino flap, and wait for final results, or lack of final results... :D

Yeah, and last time a particle traveled faster than light... I'm going to wait out celebrating this one for a while.

Meh. All this means is theyre gonna revise physics books to include this new particle. The chances of us actually doing anything miraculous with it, if its even actually real, is slim.

These nested quotes are getting a bit out of hand! ;)

I would say, it's better to come in second, than to come in wrong. You will be remembered for that, for as long, or longer than for being first!
