Scientists Announce a Puzzling Discovery At The Large Hadron Collider


The Higgs boson is considered to be the cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics. Its discovery in 2012 created ripples in the scientific community as it was the last missing piece of the Standard Model. However, the model is not the final word or the theory of everything. There are many things that it cannot explain, and for that, researchers at CERN are hunting for signs of new physics – and they might have got one!

Scientists have observed a puzzling event related to the Higgs boson which shows our understanding of the particle may not be correct. They have observed an unexpected decay of the exotic particle that’s far beyond the accepted realms of the Standard Model of Physics. These unexpected findings challenge the predictions of the Standard Model and indicate the possibility of new physics at play.

  1. I love it when they talk about “robust tests”, but are talking about “virtual particles”, or about mathmatics (my teacher) as an “exact science”, but they calculate with curves that disappear into eternity and at some point return from eternity.
