On behalf of the entire BDMO Forum, I heartily congratulate all the hard-working people at CERN for making one of the most important discoveries of this era- Discovering the "Higg's Boson". :) :) :D
They have set another milestone in unraveling the mysteries of nature. Hats off...!! :mrgreen:

Actually they haven't discovered the Higgs boson yet. As far as I understand, they have indeed discovered a new boson, and to check whether it's a Higgs boson needs more work. (correct me if I'm wrong)

Yes, Bhaia. They are not completely sure if it's Higg's Boson or not. But, many of its characters have matched with the Higg's Boson. So, their assumption is more on the side of it being the Higg's Boson. I should have stated that in the post. Sorry.... :oops:
Nevertheless, it is still quite a remarkable achievement. :)
