Another hint of the Higgs Boson has been detected while sifting through data from the shut down Tevatron accelerator. The findings point to a similar mass of that found at LHC.

Just how significant would it be to find the Higgs Boson when it is already predicted by the Standard model, is it a case for celebration or does it bring more questions to the table?

Also, if this is the final particle to be predicted by the Standard Model where does the Standard Model go from here? How do we move forward to tackle dark matter or gravity for example, does the Standard Model have to be adapted to make predictions of the Graviton?

Just thinking out loud.
