Well technically (according to sources I read, Science Journal and such) they are very sure it is the Higgs Boson but there is still a few things to confirm to be 100%. So assuming they (people way smarter than myself at CERN) prove it to in fact be the Higgs, we will then be able to explain roughly 2% of matter in the universe… LOL The numbers are mind boggling… This biggest most exciting (To some) part of this is they are hoping studying the Higgs and interaction with the W and Z Bosons will open a door into dark matter… Which is what makes up a majority of the universe, and we know nothing about it. Like the only thing we know is it is not matter as we know it…
Maybe in 100 years youngins are going to be like, remember when we thought earth was the best planet… LOLOL stupid grandparents As everyone is chilling on a resort on Titan, one of the moons of Saturn. (google the moon and how the constant changes in gravity make it warm enough to sustain life, crazyness) I honestly think we are opening pathways to the previously unimaginable. I wish I was smart enough to be involved in such study, but I will remain a loyal fanboy.
/Tangent, unless we want to keep talking because it interests the hell out of me. even though it has nothing to do with your real point.
