Wow. Assuming one day everything will be known, eh?

That is consistent with your persona.

Everything will never be known. It's simply impossible.

Sure, but look at the context.

The more we know, the less room there is to make stuff up. If we know everything, nothing can be made up. Not that I believe we will ever know everything, that's not the point.

Bad word choice I guess, but I thought the meaning was clear anyways. Sorry.

A new result released by the ATLAS experiment at CERN shows an intriguing anomaly, which could be evidence for a new particle with a mass of about two thousand times the mass of a proton. How excited should be we be? I’m going to try to walk a line here, between hyping a result and being overly conservative. Let’s see how it goes.

At a European Physical Society High Energy Physics conference in Vienna on Monday, CERN will be briefing nearly 700 scientists about the collider’s second run, which began earlier this month and extends until 2018. CERN will also be presenting fresh data about the Higgs, a fundamental particle that gives mass to other particles. “We’ve done more precise measurements about the Higgs and have more information about its properties”, Dr. Heuer said.
