whusean 0 Posted November 27, 2011 What is the significance if these are produced at CERN. What will this mean for the world of physics?? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
insane_alien 840 Posted November 27, 2011 it will mean that certain theories about the fundemental nature of the universe can be discarded and other ones can be investigated further. beyond that, no body can say for sure. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insane_alien 840 Posted July 4, 2012 woo the wild number of hypotheses about the universe has been drastically reduced. still loads of them left. now we can concentrate on finding out the properties of this particle and the consequences it has for theory. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaylord 5 Posted July 9, 2012 I think it means that non-tenured string theorists will have to start refreshing their resumes. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Severian 410 Posted July 9, 2012 I think it means that non-tenured string theorists will have to start refreshing their resumes. The Higgs boson is perfectly compatible with string theory. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyph3r 0 Posted July 10, 2012 I actually agree The Higgs Boson actually would make testing for String theory much easier and maybe even produce results which could put string theory even further since mass is stringy after all (jk until evidence proves otherwise). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
