Re: [FRIAM] CERN to announce Higgs boson observation at LHC | ExtremeTech

[Gillian Densmore]

Not a expert on string theory in so far as I know Green and co. MIGHT
prefer to use some mechanic other than the Higgs Boson to explain how
and why stuff gets mass.

Yes, i would say it falls between 2.0 and 3.5 standard deviations.

"Junior programmers create simple solutions to simple problems. Senior
programmers create complex solutions to complex problems. Great
programmers find simple solutions to complex problems. The code
written by topnotch programmers may appear obvious, once it is
finished, but it is vastly more difficult to create."

I think the odds are quite high that there will be a press conference.

One should not take anything said as evidence for or against any 
particular string theory, despite what media commentary will happen 
afterwards.

[Gillian Densmore]

Not a physicist myself- one of the articles the article linked to did
mention the possablility of there not being a  higgs-boson but other
mechanics to explain how stuff aquires mass.

Been hearing rumors of this for about a week.
