for the cost of that structure (8 billion euros I think) at least they found something. but what they found?
I watch the press conference live and an “expert” said, quote: “we found a “thing” emerging”, quite funny
last time I checked they found something that was faster than the speed of light.
and the press keep ask what they found.
“We found something that we as maximum experts in the field we have no idea what it is and now you want us to explain what this thing is?”
Its simple explanation, its some evidence that confirms or partially confirms the higgs or atleast some new bozon. It is exiting time and for once the money spent its being used for something greater, for me personally that is improvement.
Bingo! But still, anybody that grasps ideology of importance is very exited.
Basic science and research is absolutely essential. All our GPSs, 14nm processors, millimeter thin displays and a lot more of what we use today didn’t come from thin air. They’re all just basic R&D paying dividends.
“Well, if my iPhone 5 isn’t going to be made from higgs boson then I don’t care to know what it is.” – Some bloke
The existence is proved, that’s a great step. Now they can study it more since they know it exists.
