I feel badly for the poor boson...

The Universe wouldn’t be the same without the Higgs boson. This legendary particle plays a role in cosmology and reveals the possible existence of another closely related particle.
The race to identify the Higgs boson is on at CERN. This Holy Grail of particle physics would help explain why the majority of elementary particles possess mass. The mysterious particle would also help us understand the evolution of the Universe from the moment of its birth, according to a group of EPFL physicists. If their theory is verified with data from the Planck satellite, it would clear up several questions about the Universe, past and future.

The universe doesn’t have a size, it’s infinite.
It is a theoretical particle and not a legendary particle. Who writes this garbage?
If it exists. It’s the flying spaghetti monster of atheistic “scientists”.
Isn’t a bosun somebody on a ship? And how does that apply to buffaloes? Is a bison a male buffalo? Another sexist-glass-ceiling conspiracy.
excellent reply
We could be doing this research here in the USA but Clinton killed the Superconducting Supercollider to punish Texas for voting for Bush Sr.
Not that I am necessarily an uncritical supporter of all big science government projects, but I much rather have spent the money on real research and not global warming BS.
Agreed. NASA would be a whole heck of a lot more palatable if they dropped the climate research and got back to exploration.
reveals the possible existence of another closely related particle.”
And so, on and on it goes.
What’s the stuff that holds these particles together? Alas, we have since John Locke (or maybe Hobbes...) abandoned that question altogether.
But it seems like a good one.
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogroves,
And the mome raths outgrabe,
Carroll should be alive today - to translate the gibberish these atheist cosmologists like to spew right around grant renewal time. And why are they never required to explain first causes for their whacko omega point???
A bison is an animal indigenous to N. america. They show up every two centuries in Washington DC to celebrate the bison-tennial.
“The Universe wouldn’t be the same without the Higgs Boson.” True...true...but the Universe wouldn’t be the same without Pee Wee Herman and I ask you, who will people miss more?
There were lots of “may”’s, and “could of”s in the article.
What is bizarre to me is that they are postulating that the
“laws” of physics were different at the Bertha D. Universe.
So lets see, we believe that the laws of physics as we know
them today are invariate, but we use them to conclude that
the laws much more prior(i.e. Bertha D. Universe) were different.
So then, why do we believe the laws of physics are
invariate? Maybe we be in the epoch where the laws of
physics change, like at the final big crunch, or the final
Pfffffft.Oh, yeah, I know, Nature did it.
Aye.
And how does that apply to buffaloes?
The mast.
Is a bison a male buffalo?
There are no bison-sexuals.
Another sexist-glass-ceiling conspiracy.
And worse, a glass ceiling is a glass floor.
We don't know if it's infinite or not.
>>What’s the stuff that holds these particles together?
If particles are merely a localized compression of Space relative to E within the observed system - then the answer is, they do.
>>they do.
they are.
