They have now managed to observe the Highs boson decay onto two bottom quarks. link |

I'll wait until they can manufacture them a bit more cheaply. They don't keep either. |

And I've yet to find a suitable wine to accompany those at table. |

So what's the significance of this? |

I assume it was predicted that the Higgs was made up of two B quarks and now, that prediction has been proven. |

But then something else must make up the Higgs too. Something else had to radiate away so that the Higgs Boson decayed to two bottom quarks. And this article says it decays to a bottom quark and an antibottom quark. Not sure what the significance of that is either. link |

I still say that Higgs Boson is really a Pulp crime boss, Keyser Sose's arch rival. |
