>>12232699As far as popsci goes it is, but to be fair it had an extremely long lifespan in the public consciousness compared to most scientific topics.
ATLAS still has a raging hard on for this and it's the main reason I didn't join their group when I started grad school. The Higgs is cool and all but I don't want to measure it's cross-section to the 8th decimal or look for alternate decay channels just 'cause.
