ASPEN, Colo. — Physicists said Wednesday they had discovered a subatomic particle that looks like the Higgs boson, a potential key to understanding why elementary particles have mass and indeed to the existence of diversity and life in the universe.
‘‘I think we have it,’’ Rolf-Dieter Heuer, the director general of CERN, said in an interview from his office outside Geneva, calling the discovery ‘‘a historic milestone.’’

Should I be surprised that there are no comments claiming that the physicists at CERN have been faking their results in order to obtain grant money, or are remarks like that only aimed at climate scientists?
