What do you all think of the higs boson?

[esmecullen]

I was extremely disappointed that they didnt have an interview with Prof Brian Cox about this Lol

[HeadHunter]

lol, God particle, lol, Bosun Higg, lol, religion

What always amazes me is the fact that most people assume that scientific advancements are putting the 'nails' in the coffin of religion, lol........

So somebody tells you of a particle so small that you cannot see it, you believe them....

Somebody else tells you about God and again you cannot see it but you do not believe.......hmmm, interesting that

The reason that it is called the 'GOD PARTICLE' is (and this is just from memory, rather than a googled answer) that during the 12/13th century Sufi mystics worked out that God is within everything even the smallest of particles, holding it all together as it were. The BHP (Bosun Higg Particle) was renamed as the God particle as it theoretically occupies the same space that the Sufi's claimed for God ! Also remember that the Sufi's also claimed (at the same time) that if you split the smallest of all particles (?atom) that it would release the power of the sun, which is an obvious simple 13th century description of atomic energy (nuclear fission).
This was all expressed through religious texts some 600-700 years ago, eventually 'western science' caught up in the 1940's and managed to prove the Sufis right, unfortunately for Hiroshima & Nagasaki it was a science experiment that they could of done without.

#attachment# Ok, now they have it, what will that mean to us little people who inhabit this earth.

Nuff said.. The better half of me was surprised when that was in the news and I knew a lot of it/explained what all the fuzz is about..

"And you know this WHY?"
"I think I saw that in some movie...."

In a nutshell & to use the scientific professional term..................................'Bugger all'.......................

I expect they'll be working out how to make it into a weapon.

It is impossible to directly observe any subatomic particle so the Higgs is nothing special in that regard.

The most interesting thing about the Higgs is that it has a massive arse. 130 times more flabby than your common or garden proton.

Science will never put the nails in the coffin of religion, because one is about belief and the other about hard facts.

Maybe it's because clever people with big foreheads and the most powerful computers on earth have seen one and no one of any note has seen the other.



So when is the first bison juice out?

And I'd like to be a nerd, but I don't think I'm clever enough. I do wear glasses, but I don't think they carry the same kind of gravitas as they used to

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez...........nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............

Science could never put an end to religion... they'd have to find something new to have wars over

[chrisjw]

Still, at least this Higgs Boson bloke has made an appearance....................the other one hasn't...................
