The rough properties of this particle agree with the Standard Model prediction, but there is roughly 50% uncertainty in all the measurements of the largest couplings.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one of the central tenets of quantum mechanics, maintains that you cannot pin down all the physical properties of a particle at the same time.

Using this phenomenon physicists have been able to transfer -- or in effect teleport -- the properties of one particle to another, in the case of atoms over a distance of about half a meter, in the case of photons over tens of kilometers.

At E3, the Epic representative breezed through a level editor that looked more like a game itself, changing the properties of items, lighting effects, and particle physics with single clicks, before opening up a screen showing a flow chart of boxes that contained every script running in any given room.
