Did Homer Simpson discovered the Higgs boson (over a decade before scientists)?
Well, nope, but we can say that Homer has certain/robust physical-mathematical knowledge, which actually we already knew thanks to the book “The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets" by Simon Singh.
Why not?
Mainly because if you do the maths with the “Homer’s formula" you will obtain a mass for the Higgs boson at rest of 774 GeV, i.e a value exagerated by a factor of about 2π over the (experimentally) measured of 125 eV. See an extensive explanation at TRF.
