Notice the close similarity of the Higgs Boson on the left and the Techni-Higgs Boson on the right.
Easy to see how one could be confused...

Please add me to the string theory list and any similar lists you might have.

wouldn’t it be something if just like the universe is infinitely large, it is also infinitely small ?

“How embarrassing.”
Actually, since mass media and the possibility to become famous in science essentially overnight, lots of bad science has been reported as a ‘breakthrough’, and too many things have been reported without rigorous testing and vetting.
I’m actually sickened by where science currently is.

Remember, Higgs was touted as the ‘God’ particle, the holy grail of the political-science left. Because if God was just a particle, then man could claim dominance.
Like global warming and peak oil and a hundred other liberal-utopian dreams of science, this one appears to have been another PR over reach.
Don’t worry, they’ll have another soon enough.

Actually, it was determined that the particle was fly poop on the computer screen. Scientists cannot determine the exact type of fly without DNA testing and a further 10 billion dollars in additional grants.

If there was a known similar particle (this “tehcni-Higgs” particle) why wasn’t that ruled out before publication of any findings?

I think Higgs served in the navy.
