First time accepted submitter m4ktub writes "A team of researchers working with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC have published an article in arXiv where they describe what is believed to be the first observation of a new particle: the boson Chi-b (3P). Professor Roger Jones, Head of the Lancaster ATLAS group, said 'While people are rightly interested in the Higgs boson, which we believe gives particles their mass and may have started to reveal itself, a lot of the mass of everyday objects comes from the strong interaction we are investigating using the Chi-b.'"

They even have chibi particles now.

No, no, that would be the chi-rho boson.

Chi-Tebow boson.

They won't find the Higgs Boson, because it doesn't exist.
Oh no! You mean to say that the teams at the LHC have wasted hundreds of millions of moneys searching for something that doesn't exist, when all they had to do was ask you, the Anonymous Coward on Slashdot? Because, you know, obviously you must know better than them, otherwise you'd have to be a massively conceited douche to think you knew better when you did, in fact, not.

Maybe he's an adult with a real career. You'll understand someday when you grow up that the guy with intelligence and a real job probably.gets laid more than guys with attitides like yours who end up with dead end jobs and leech off of the rest of society who decided to grow up. Then again this is /. Neither of you have probably ever been laid.

Well you're right about that, but for all the wrong reasons.
What CERN is doing is in fact not science, really. They're smashing shit together and looking at the results and going "woo! found something"
That's not science. Science requires a hypothesis and a test, not just digging around until you find something.
Sometimes they do flirt with science, the hunt for the higgs for instance is essentially science based.
