Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

The black hole ate it.

Will it blend?

Sounds like they haven't quite got it to the statistical level they like ( if I'm reading all the sgima stuff right ) but I imagine that'll come in soon.

For those of us who are idiots, what does this actually mean? What happens next? What does this tell us?

Keep watching.

That the ring can only be unmade in the fires of Mount Doom, whence it came.

The measurements have a five-sigma significance, meaning rhere's a 99.9999% chance they are genuine and not from random errors. And the same result was obtained by two independent teams. Scientists are always cautious about certainty, but this is certainly pretty bloody likely.

Can someone explain it in words that I'll understand, I've never been a huge follower of physics? I've gotten as far as:

"this makes shit have mass"

Nah mate, that's Catholics.

Press conference on now: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-18702455

Humanity has just levelled up a little.

Kill it with fire!

Not a waste of money. Unless you live in a cave with NO SCIENCE. That means no wheels, tools (you'll have to hunt with your bare hands), medicine, roads, internal combustion engines, raw materials, lighting, heating, books, clothes, computers, phones, internet, TVs, paper and pens, buildings, aircraft, tables, chairs, knowing what to eat and what not to eat and knowing when to breathe and when not to breathe and fire.

Okaaaay...

Now we have the technology to find these sub atomic particles can the design be further enhanced so we can ascertain if Myps is male or female?

The Last Salmon MAN. The evidence is incontrovertible.

1. It means they thought there was some glue-type stuff that stopped all our atoms drifting apart, seeing as how were supposedly mostly made of space, and now they think they've found out they were right.

2. What happens next? Brian Cox's grinning face will be all over the media for a few days, trying to fool us into believing we understand it as much as HE does. We still won't, but we don't like to appear stoopid, so we'll pretend we do. Also, someone will try to make money out of it. Maybe Apple will use it for some kind of app. I doubt that there will be a kaboom, but if there is, we won't know about it.

3. What does this tell us? see answer No. 1.

They'll make guns that make the 'glue' go away now.

In a little over 20 years time, CERN create a time machine and takes over the world.

Our quiz team won best team name for "Partial physics gives me a large hadron"

And we shall live in a 'Gone Away World'.

Collide 'er?

I would.

Higgs Boson goes into a Catholic church.
The priest says, "You're not welcome here."
Higgs Boson says "You can't have mass
without me."
