Can someone explain how we know the mass of the Top quark is 170GeV yet we can't tell if the Higgs boson mass is greater than 115GeV until we collide particles at energies that have not yet been achieved? In other words: by that logic, wouldn't we still be searching for the Top quark too?

@mdma24 How do you know you arent? And even you are correct, there are endless other things that you ARE smart enough for, something that requires a DIFFERENT kind of smart. Some ppl are math wiz but suck at physics and vice verca-neither is "smarter", just smarter in specific fields. ;)
