Premature in Spades
No one get their panties in a knot. This is way premature.
The first indication is the diphoton rate at 30 times expectations.
The Tevatron data from FermiLab bounds the Higgs to about 1.5x expectations or less.
We seem to have three choices here. The Tevatron data is wrong, the Standard Model from which the Higgs flows is wrong or this premature leak is wrong.
I would love to see this result verified. It would usher in a whole new era of particle physics and our understanding of the universe. However, given the strength and level of confidence of the two former, the later is the stronger candidate to be wrong by many orders of magnitude..
