Nature reports:

Physicists in Europe will present evidence of an entirely new particle on Wednesday, Nature has learned. But more data will be needed to officially confirm whether it is indeed the long-awaited Higgs boson — the particle thought to be behind the mass of all the others.

Even as rumours fly in the popular media, physicists have begun quietly cheering at CERN, the European particle-physics lab near Geneva in Switzerland. “Without a doubt, we have a discovery,” says one member of the team working on the ATLAS experiment, who wished to remain anonymous. “It is pure elation!”

But even if it is the Higgs ("the goddamn [hard to find]") particle, that can't be the end of everything. There has to be something behind even this deep layer of reality. We can only expect to find a turtle beneath the turtle. And if ever we were to reach a bottom, a grund, an end to the all, it would for sure not be the bottom, grund, end of reality but our grasp of it. Besides, what's wrong with an infinite regression? Why not an infinite regression?
