The boson explained, from Fermilab in USA:
It was just a few months ago that some of my students solved one of the most disturbing queries I had been harbouring for more than 25 years: what are the subatomic particles made of? They explained things about the Higgs boson and the Graviton (wonderful name, isn't it?) in such a simple way that even an arts-oriented mind like mine could easily understand them. That's one of the many good things of having the students I have. And now, at last, we have the offcial statement that
confirms the possible existence of THE particle. You can read more about it
here and
here.
Great day for science, I guess...
