Higgs Boson Alert!!!!

ALERT!!!  Higgs Boson may be discovered.  On July 4, 3 a.m. ET, a webcast will be broadcasted to show three weeks of "secret research" done by the folks at CERN.  "Reports from the experiments indicate that at least one of them, if not both, will reach the 5 sigma level of significance for the Higgs signal, when they combine 2011 and 2012 data and the most sensitive channel. So, this will definitely be the long-awaited Higgs discovery announcement, and party time for HEP [high-energy physics] physicists," Columbia mathematician Peter Woit.  "5 sigma" means that it is officially discovered.  The actual discovery of the Higgs Boson would be the most important discovery in particle physics of all time.  This is the only particle theoretically proposed by the Standard Model of particles that have not yet been discovered.  The Higgs Boson will clarify and make sense the fundamentals of particle physics.  It provides an explanation to electroweak symmetry and supersymmetry.  What does this mean for string enthusiasts like myself?  It actually means that string theory can provide a logical explanation of nature.  Supersymmetry would make sense if the Higgs Boson exists; so, it is further acking for string theory.  There is still a possibility that CERN has only been picking up signals from a particle similar to the theoretical, God-particle known as the Higgs Boson.  I'm keeping my hopes up, and I cannot wait to hear more.  Here is the article where I gathered information.  HIGGS BOSON BABY!!!  Please do not mind the link.  That is not the actual title of the article.
