全世界科学家称赞了关于一种可能帮助人类理解宇宙的粒子的发现。瑞士欧洲核子研究中心称，他们的发现与希格斯玻色子一致，人们认为希格斯玻色子可以给原子以质量，并将宇宙结合起来。诺贝尔奖得主物理学家史蒂芬·霍金通过电脑表示，这是21世纪最重要的发现之一。

"The results strongly suggest that we have found the next particle, the particle that gives mass to other particles. That will be strong evidence for the so-called standard model of particle physics. In the theory, that explains all our experiments so far. This is an important result, and should earn Peter Higgs a Nobel Prize."

“研究结果清楚表明，我们找到了下一种粒子，这种粒子能给其他粒子以质量。这将是所谓的粒子物理标准模型的有力证据，理论上讲，这能解释目前为止所有的实验。这是个重要的发现，彼得·希格斯将因此获得诺贝尔奖。”
