CERNs biggest discovery

I'm not a physics nerd but I basically understand this allows us to assign matter to varoius particles.

In layman terms, what does this actually allow us to do? What are the next steps?

Higgs field gives particles mass. I would imagine if you can disrupt that or create a higgs field free zone... antigravity? Being able to literally warp the fabric of space and create faster than light travel?

Soon we'll be able to use quantum computers to download/stream copious amounts of asian porn at incredible speeds.

Japan already has that.

There is a coral castle in homestead Florida, presumably it was build utilizing Higgs field manipulations. Builder stated that he knew how the pyramids were build. It would be hard to build something like that using all modern technology, yet the guy did it by his lonesome self, and then disassembled and moved it several miles and build it again.

P.S. I don't believe we are only now discovering the forgotten, instead I believe we are being revieled the forgotten by those who know.

Leedskalnin took issue with modern science's understanding of nature. He flatly states that they are wrong. His concept of nature is simple. All matter consists of individual magnets and it is the movement of these magnets within materials and through space that produces measurable phenomena, i.e., magnetism and electricity.

Notice how what was once "conspiracy theory" and "UFO Sasquatch fairy tale" changes into science with the new knowledge.

In layman terms, what does [discovering the Higgs boson] actually allow us to do?

Nothing. We can have a better understanding of the Big Bang, but it’s knowledge purely for the sake of knowledge; there is no practical application, it won’t likely lead to technological advances.

Yes, I'm sure Edward Leedskalnin had advanced technology with which to move limestone rocks and make a castle. That's why it took him 28 years to build it. Because he had such advanced technology. That's why the front gate is built on some truck bearings. Because he had such advanced technology.

It would be hard to build something like that using all modern technology, yet the guy did it by his lonesome self, and then disassembled and moved it several miles and build it again.

You would be surprised what a man can accomplish in 28 years. My grandfathers father built the house he now lives in (including making the ****ing bricks). By himself. And it took him 5 years, while working. Although he used a couple of steel beams and purchased the glass for the windows.

Oh... errrr... I mean, he had advanced technology to manipulate the Higgs Boson filed like the Ancient Egyptians. And that's why he was able to build a house in 5 years. I too can show you this mystical secret of the ancients, passed down from generation to generation in my family. I need you to give me some money as an offering to my forefathers and they will reveal their knowledge.

P.S. I don't believe we are only now discovering the forgotten, instead I believe we are being revieled the forgotten by those who know.

You can believe whatever you want, but there is nothing to back it up. That's why they're called delusions. They lack even a shred of evidence that roots them to reality.

Typical, CERN makes one of the biggest scientific discoveries of the past 100 years and all anyone wants to talk about is Anderson Cooper being a gay.
