No Higgs in range 145 to 466 GeV.

A 120-140 GeV light Higgs would require 10Fb of data so the coffin won't be nailed on that until next year.

So looks like we might be heading to higgless physics which will be interesting because thats sort of what QM has been suggesting.

So far it is good news. The concept of virtual particles, mass-less particles, one dimensional strings, etc belongs to science-fantasy, not real science (just my opinion)
