I hope you slapped yourself after typing this remark.

Yes, silly Stimbo, of course it can't be a Quark because Quarks aren't Bosons! Smile

RE: A new Boson?
Ok correct me if I am wrong, what is the difference, and mind you, I am basing this on the science I got off of the COSMOS series with Neil. What is the difference between a Boson particle and say a neutrino? My understanding from that show is that neutrinos are really fucking tiny to the point of like being a baseball on a field and the field being an atom and the neutrino passing between the bases and pitchers mound.

I think CERN is fucking amazing that they can take atoms and smash them like testing cars.

They aren't Captains or Admirals either......... See what I did there?

When it comes to current understanding the higgs boson would be an admiral in the emptyness. Yet, by this data, we might have uncovered something more. Damn science always seeking more knowledge. I wish I could help, but my knowledge of physics go to a failed stall at this level.

We wait while the brainiacs do their shit. I am not payed enough for my thoughts.

So first off, Neutrinos are Fermions. This means that they adhere to the pauli exclusion principle that no two can be in the same state in the same place, and they have a spin of half a plancks unit insted of 0 or 1. Concerning their size: all elementary particles we know are effectively treated as points without spatial extent - we have no evidence that any of them have any spatial size on the scales we can currently probe at colliders. This is the same for bosons and fermions. The alleged new resonance has a much much higher mass than the known neutrinos by 10 orders of magnitude or more. This has nothing to do with their size though.

Can you dumb it down for me? You know like when the bad guy in Die Hard kept nodding toward the long blond haired bad guy until he gave up and said "Shoot the glass".

That's probably as dumbed down as it gets.

And yeah, I gave myself a right old slapping for my previous thing. I applied all the knowledge I have gathered over many years about fundamental particles and just googled for one starting with a 'c' sound.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

He first says

Schiess dem Fenster!!!

...which is actually gramatically incorrect. No wonder he didn't know what to do Wink

I ain't no physicist. Has the big laser thing made magics again?

Seriously though, if true, see avatar for reaction.
