I want characteristics and behaviors that can be expressed cinematically.
Mabe Alex can expand on that. I know some basic physics, so yeah.
I think you are making too much of this. The particle exists as a new found particle, but just like in evolutionary biology, every time biologists study a little studied species at that point they don't know much about it. Same can be said for the migration of sharks. It's really only been a decade since we've created technology that can track their migration long term. A decade ago we could barely track a shark for days. But now we have battery technology and electronics that can track even a great white for a decade or more. The water bear was discovered in 1773 but it really only has been recently that we have known the extreme properties of that animal or how long it has existed.
The Higgs Boson exists, but since it is a new discovery, we simply need more data long term to understand it's behavior better.
