CERN officials have said they expect the LHC to provide evidence of the Higgs boson's existence or non-existence by the end of this year.

GENEVA — European researchers say they have discovered a new subatomic particle that helps confirm our knowledge about how quarks bind — one of the basic forces in the shaping of matter.
The CERN physics research center said Friday that the particle was discovered at the Compact Muon Solenoid, one of the Large Hadron Collider's two main general-purpose detectors, in collaboration with the University of Zurich.
The discovery of the new particle confirms the theory of how quarks bind and therefore helps to understand the strong interaction, one of the four basic forces of physics which determines the structure of matter.

Physicists expect to find a wide variety of subatomic particles consisting of various combinations of quarks, but their prime target is the Higgs boson, a different type of fundamental particle that is predicted by theory but has not been detected. If it exists, the Higgs boson would help explain why some particles have mass while others don't.

fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

"what a long, strange trip it's been"
