Higgs Boson Gets Nobel Prize, But Physicists Still Don't Know What It Means

This morning, two physicists who theorized the existence of this particle, which is responsible for conferring mass to all other known particles in the universe, got the Nobel, the highest prize in science. For all the excitement the award has already generated, finding the Higgs ? arguably the most important discovery in more than a generation ? has left physicists without a clear roadmap of where to go next.
