Now, something in my gut tells me a random fluctuation is not a thing.
Yeah, it's not a thing.
It's just, you know, everything that happens that comes out of the collider is random.
And sometimes they pile up in a weird, unusual way.
Just like sometimes, you know, you flip a coin four or five times, you get four or five heads.
It happens, right?
And that's what happened this time.
So it was exciting, but it wasn't anything.
It was disappointing.
Yeah.
And, you know, we haven't discovered anything of the Large Hadron Collider since the Higgs boson.
We saw the Higgs in 2012.
We've been looking ever since.
But it's exploration.
Just like when NASA lands on Mars and sends a new rover, they don't know.
Are we going to find, you know, something weird under a rock or is it just going to be dust and rubble?
It's exploration.
Right.
We're pushing those horizons.
And I wish we had like 50 new particles to talk about that we discovered.
