Higgs glimpse?

Higgs glimpse? – Lots of hype going on around the possibility of having spotted a glimpse of the Higgs boson that, in theory, endows matter with mass. Of course, despite the press conferences and hype, the physicists are still stressing that it is far too early to know whether the signals they have are due to the elusive particle or nothing more than statistical fluctuations, flaws in their computer models or some other glitch. We’ll see. Whatever the outcome, you can bet fellow Segedunumite Peter Higgs will be embarassed by the renown given that the theory that bears his name was developed with five colleagues.
