One difference: data!
Is that really the Higgs boson?
Are there any others? Any extra dimensions?And more universes?

Which was the first web site in the U.S. ?
SPIRES: the first web site in the U.S.(and the first database on the web)
Date: Fri, 13 Dec 91 17:55:53 GMT+0100From: [email protected] (Tim Berners-Lee)Subject: WWW to SPIRES on SLACVM - ExperimentalTo: [email protected], [email protected]
There is an experimental W3 server for the SPIRES High energy Physics preprint database, thanks to Terry Hung, Paul Kunz and Louise Addis of SLAC. It's only just been put up, so don't expect perfection. With the w3 line mode browser, follow a link to it from our home page,

Paul Kunz wrote a few days ago:-
"The SLAC Library maintainer of SPIRES databases, Louise Addis, is absolutely delighted. She will ask for a permanent VM service machine and finish off the polishing. Things are really moving now.”
