Nope there is still gravity to figure out.

No it's really not even that big of a deal as they hyped it up to be.

No - I think there's a Sparkley Unicorn particle too...

No. Probably the particle that controls gravity will be the last one.

The standard theory breaks down the particle zoo from the 230+ particles found to date to just 16 fundamental particles and the Higgs is merely the last of these to be proven to exist. The hope was that by measuring the properties and behavior of the Higgs they could find new physics beyond the standard model including a quantum theory of gravity, but so far it doesn't look like that will happen because the mass they discovered for the Higgs implies indeterminacy is clouding the issue and it will require experiments using cosmic rays to resolve if it is possible at all.
Essentially quanta are contextual, that is, context trumps content. Using the context to define the properties of the individual parts contextual systems can do a complete end run around metaphysics making them difficult to study. The same experiment might imply multiple different metaphysical explanations, but none of them are necessary because the context alone covers everything. Instead of smashing particles together at high energy what may be required to resolve the issue is a full scale quantum computer with perhaps 128 qubits or more.

N one will conclusively say it is a particle.Much less the Higgs-Boson.We are being lead down the rabbit path.
