Higgs Boson not discovered?

Since I blasted the alleged "discovery" of the Higgs boson shortly after the announcement of it last year, you might think that I'd be crowing now that some apparently legitimate scientists are also questioning the discovery. Yeah, it's nice that others are now becoming vocal about it. But the group of scientists who have recently begun questioning the discovery are claiming that the alleged Higgs is actually something completely ridiculous that can supposedly explain dark matter. So basically they're saying that it's not the Higgs, but rather it's a telltale of dark matter or dark energy.

BS!

Then there's the story about the scientists who think the GPS system can be used to detect dark matter and dark energy. More BS. The thing in this article that really irks me is the following statement: "'Despite solid observational evidence for the existence of dark matter, its nature remains a mystery,' Derevianko, a professor in the College of Science at the University, said."

What solid observational evidence? The observational evidence doesn't fit the standard cosmological model. The observational evidence doesn't support Currently Accepted Theory. You cannot then fabricate entities such as dark matter and dark energy to explain why your theory doesn't work, and then claim that the observational evidence that undermines your theory is actually solid observational evidence for the entity you pulled out of your butt to save your defective theory! It's complete absurdity!

And so they're going to use the GPS system to detect this completely fabricated entity, dark matter. And when they actually discover discrepancies in the synchronization of the clocks, as outlined in their proposal, instead of taking that as evidence against the validity of Relativity, they'll say it's evidence of dark matter and dark energy.

This is how Science works? Observational evidence doesn't support one theory, so they fabricate an entity to save it, then when one of the methods used to detect said fabricated entity finds evidence that undermines a second theory, they'll use the defect in that second theory to prove the existence of an entity they fabricated to save the first theory. It's completely absurd!

Nobel Prize actually awarded for non-discovery

Given that the Nobel Prize has been awarded for the discovery of the Higgs boson, I want to be one of the lone voices of reason and point out that NO ONE is saying that the Higgs boson has been discovered. Even CERN will only say that the evidence "strongly indicates that it is a Higgs boson."

So why is the Nobel Prize being awarded for a non-discovery?

Actually, to be honest, I guess the Prize was awarded merely for the theory that predicts the Higgs boson. But still, in the announcement, the Prize committee says that the theory "...recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted particle..."

Wrong!

I hereby predict that in due course it will be reported that the evidence has turned against the recently discovered particle being the Higgs boson.

So what have I got against the Higgs boson? Absolutely nothing. I just refuse to go along with the propaganda that the Higgs boson has been discovered when no one will come out and say that whatever they found is definitely the Higgs boson. Whatever happened to scientific integrity and honesty?

"Virtually certain" is not certain. If I'm virtually certain that a particular girl will go out with me Friday night, I'm not going to make reservations for dinner until I actually get a "Yes."

I also like how CERN, high on the success of the Higgs "discovery," is now going to turn its attention to Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Good luck with that.
