Note that only a part of the data has been analyzed to any degree. Data analysis may not be complete for some months.

The only result here is a little publicity for the up coming Melbourne event, which will come and go with no HB evidence. Shock!

My appologies to any scientists I might have insulted the other day. I only have the highest regards for you and your profession.

Well it could be worse, they could be ‘leaking’ particles instead of rumors.

Yes we must have at least 6-sigma :)

Still waiting for the tremors signaling the collapse of the Earth into the micro-black hole created by the LHC. /sarc still waiting……

5-sigma huh? I never thought I would witness less “rigorous” areas of human activity than business management… those lazy physicists!

Those poor LHC scientists are being tormented by their fans. “No, we haven’t found the Higgs yet…” they’ll say. Their fans really know how to rub it in.

Another non-announcement announcement. Blah.

Hopefully they’ll have something awesome to say about the Higgs in July! “Leaked” rumors are getting tiresome when it comes to this particle.
