I can't see the comic! What have I done! WHAT HAVE I DONE?


Seriously, I have lost the comic image, so I have to see the embedded one which means I can't alt text.

I'll duplicate my comment from that one. Could it have anything to do with 01.04.2009?

Even the people on the XKCD forum are confused by it.

Ergo, I conclude that it is a non-sequitor strip.

On April 7, 2008, Higgs predicted that the Higgs Boson will be found within a year. Time's up on Tuesday, the day which the particle physicists will reveal the Higgs "bow zone".

But the Higgs Boson transfers the Weak Force. What else will transfer the Weak Force if the Higgs Boson doesn't?

If Higgs Boson does exist, scientists are happy; we have definitive proof the standard model (literally the most accurate theory ever discovered) is correct.

If Higgs Boson doesn't exist, scientists are happy; we have definitive proof the standard model (literally the most accurate theory ever discovered) is wrong, and we can have a lot of fun fixing it.

Haven't we already seen quarks and shit? And all gluons do is transfer the Strong Force, and we've seen those.
