Yes that is right we (the scientists at CERN) found the 'God particle' or at least have a small margin of the error.
Quote:Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider say the particle outlined in July 2012 looks increasingly to be a Higgs boson.
The Higgs, long theorised as the means by which particles get their mass, had been the subject of a decades-long hunt at the world's particle accelerators.
Yet there is still some uncertainty as to whether the particle is indeed a Higgs, and if so, what type it is.
Results at the Moriond meeting in Italy suggest strongly that the particle's "spin" is consistent with a Higgs.
