They've found the Higgs. Sigma 5 discovery. That's about 99.999% sure.
Okay, to be fair, they've found a new fundamental particle that appears very, very similar to what the Higgs should look like. But I think we can call it the Higgs here on CP.
This is enormous. Not just for particle physics, but quantum mechanics, and cosmology. The inflaton field -- the field that is theorized to have stretched the universe and given rise to the first particles ever to exist is a Higgs field.
Just huge.
