Well life in fantasy land is over. No Higgs Boson found, super symmetry; gone. Standard model; gone. Black holes, dark matter, dark energy; gone And finally Big Bang; gone. Hello non-linear universe. Hello plasma cosmology. Bye bye 30 years of meaningless theoretical math.
@Woot831 The boson is not the field itself. The field has a non-zero value everywhere in spacetime (it didn't used to - in the early universe all particles were massless). The particles are the fluctuations in that field. It's the exact equivalent of a photon in an electromagnetic field (the electromagnetic field permeates the universe in the same way; magnetism occurs because of fluctuations in that field). Energy is needed to get the field to oscillate to produce the boson. Thus, the LHC.
Yeah god did it. No we can move on without another thought. So much easier!

The Higgs does not exist, so lets move on.

I love it when non-scientists try to refute scientists, even when the topic is science... leave the science to scientists!

Everyone's so concerned about whether the Higgs Boson exists or not, I think the more important is: if it exists, what next?

@wreynolds1995 Well thanks for the explanation, but I'm still sceptical about this theory.
Oh well...I believe a famous man once said "Anyone who claims to understand quantum physics...does not."
