I hear these Higgs bison can swap horns.

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.

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.

I fear the Higgs Boson may about to be unfairly blamed for the size of other things as well....





I feel badly for the poor boson...

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.

Twas brillig and the slithy toves

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???

“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.

an inflationary phase to the Big Bang, an initial phenomenal expansion in which the Universe grew by a factor of 10^26 in a very short time

Sure, let's bring back the Higgs boson and its dilaton pal.

We don't know exactly what role they played in the early universe, but let's bring 'em back and see what it was.

We do know the laws of physics were changing rapidly during those initial moments of the Big Bang when free Higgs and dilatons were around, and that the incredible hypothesized expansion probably took place in seconds.

The Higgs and dilaton may have mediated that expansion and those changes in physical law (something back then surely did), we're not sure, but who cares? Let's bring 'em back and see if it was them. Probably wasn't, so don't worry.

If it was, and a volume about one nanometer across inside CERN's bubble chamber expands by a factor of 1026 in the blink of an eye, which works out to about a light year across, just think of all the sexy shrapnel scars you'll have!

And if you don't like shrapnel scars, don't worry. The laws of physics will have changed, too, and nobody's eyeballs will work anyway, among other weird otherworldly things we can expect to "see" when a bunch of physical laws and constants shift. It'll be like going to another universe!

So nobody will be able to see your scars anyhow and all the atoms in your body will have been scattered throughout a couple of cubic light years of outer space.

Cool, I always wanted to go into outer space!

Nosiree, nobody can call me a Luddite. I don't believe CERN will create a dangerous black hole, like a lot of Luddites. I've moved beyond that.
