Intriguing new result from the LHCb experiment at CERN

&gt; The new result indicates hints of a deviation from one: the statistical significance of the result is 3.1 standard deviations<p>That&#x27;s not enough, is it? I thought in particle physics, people wanted 5 standard deviations? Does someone know why this is being published then?

Previously on HN with 166 comments <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26552375" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26552375</a>

I struggle to understand the love arm chair physicists on HN has for dismissing of anything that comes from particle physics.

I&#x27;m sure the standard model will be adjusted to fit results, as usual.
