CERN has called a press conference for tomorrow. Speculation is rampant as to whether or not they will announce that they have found the Higg's boson.*
To be frank, I don't understand all of the bits of the Standard Model and how quarks, letons, muons and the rest all fit together. I can't comprehend the math.**
The Wright Brothers were able to make a working flying machine because the basic science of fluid dynamics had been developed. Understanding how things work is key to then being able to make use of that knowledge. So this is pretty exciting.
