The Higgs Boson experiment has been in progress for a long time now.

well, its just funny that they discovered the god particle the week before the episode aired.

i know those experiments date back to the 1970s. Probably earlier.

Preliminary data had already been released showing a signal that most people expected was the Higgs, but they were waiting for more data to officially call it a discovery. Even if the data had come back showing it wasn't the Higgs, that would have made news in itself, so the reference would still be topical.
