APR 27, 2011
Physics Today

The report is genuine but premature in that it has yet to be endorsed by the ATLAS collaboration or subjected to rigorous testing and peer review. Publicized last Thursday, the leaked information set off an explosion of speculation, comment, and recriminations on physics blogs.
