Almost:
you had it up to the whoops
So you never get to see the cars as they crash. We are dealing with E=mc^2 so matter and energy are exchangeable. They are literally looking at the resulting energy and particles and saying -- hmm what could make you be the outcome. unfortunately in this energy range ALMOST everything creates the same outcomes. With one possible exception. The Higgs would leave the same outcome but with a slightly bigger energy signature. You never get to see it. But if you find enough signatures that are slightly too big then it must be real.
So you never get that test drive.
And this would be the first 0 spin boson i think -- fact check me on that.
Also the Higgs is the first tachyon -- NOT FTL - just an inconsistency in a field.
Post Higgs -- look st the charts -- what is going on around 200 GeV -- something unexpected
