the Higgs has probably been found. CERN is going to make an announcement on July 4th
If fulfilled, perhaps that will count as a prophesy

Re: Rumours
Hearing a rumour that both independent experiments are now at 4 standard deviations. Together it may mean that they are now at the magic 5 sigma. Any thoughts, gossip etc?
I heard they found the Higgs boson and it's gay.

Re: Rumours
I have heard similar from a friend of a boyfriend of the daughter of a scientist at CERN. Big press conference announcement next Wednesday (additional aspects of the rumour being that this announcement will be made at conference in Australia)

Re: Rumours
I'll explain about the Higgs in seperate post, maybe in coffee house, since more people post there.
For now I'll say that what I've heard is the CERN have definitely found a boson with the same properties as the Higgs in the same type of reactions (photon interactions) where you expect to find the Higgs.
This boson has been found with 99.99995% confidence. In the next few months they will need to check if it is indeed the Higgs (by looking at other reactions) or a new and completely different boson that happens to look like it in photon interactions.

Higgs
A new Higgs-like particle has been found with over five sigma confidence at the Compact Muon Solenoid in CERN. At 8:38 a.m. today the announcement was made.

More info.
Technically accurate results just there now.
The sigma value is at 4.9 under the most stringent testing. This corresponds to being:
99.9999% confidence that a new boson has been detected at the Compact Muon Collider. Its mass is 125.3 (+- 0.6) GeV, or :
0.0000000048 grams.

ATLAS
My first posts were for the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid).
The results from ATLAS:
They have independently found a new boson with over five sigma confidence. 99.99994% confidence.
The new boson is a Higgs with 4.6 sigma confidence. 99.9996% confidence.

This just in!
After years of creationist research, the Almighty God has blessed his faithful with the discovery of the Higgs Boson. This is the single most important discovery of mankind since creation. Once again, science has been proven dead wrong and that creationism is the one true path to understanding God's wonderous creation.
Take that, scientists!

Well, when you're talking about fundamental particles, it is......
