This result could change physics forever

Ma'am, you are really one of a kind. At least as far as I know of. 😄 You are very understanding concerning the grasp of non-physics people where the latest of physics is concerned. You are kind and accomodating to the utmost so that everybody is on the same page, really gets it. Also you have a very bubbly personality and on top of that, very nice looks. So, I expect for the foreseeable future that a whole lot more geeky boys take up physics. What a way to be smart and meet nice girls. 😄
But serious, the scientific meaning of this... maybe it helps to get closer to a unifying theory, solve questions concerning dark matter/energy and so on. An interesting question that comes to my mind:  can we already figure out how this new particle (force?) relates to the bose-higgson's particle? And perhaps why? Eagerly awaiting the follow up. 😄
