The Higgs Boson at 125 GeV, or much ado about nothing
#12
RE: The Higgs Boson at 125 GeV, or much ado about nothing
You cats familiar with Lubos Motl? The last happy string theorist? Check this quote:

However, the exciting question that remains is whether or not the LHC will see something else beyond the 125 GeV Higgs. The very likely mass near 125 GeV makes both possibilities – yes and no – approximately equally likely. Stay tuned.

The link to the whole post is under his name, above; for myself, if I had the scratch, I'd be organizing a party.

(What I'm seeing, if it isn't apparent, is a prominent supporter of stringiness guessimating a 50% chance the patient did not survive "black monday." I just don't like string theory. Wink)
