New Physics Complications Support Multiverse Idea

Ah, the nature of the reality we live in has just gotten more interesting. Because of extensive experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, scientist are contemplating the notion that we are not alone. In fact, if the data is correct, we exist in a infinite multiverse with every possible configuration of reality happening somewhere (or when).

It's that pesky Higgs Boson that did this to us. It seems that the Higgs we expected is not the Higgs we got. Rather, the lot of buddy particles we thought would be shed from a Higgs decay did not show up for the party.

If you want to know more, here are links to the Scientific American article I got this from and an article on the Simons Foundation website where they got it from.
