Thanks Ernest. "Save the theory" strikes again.

It is a subatomic point where hard science meets myth and mystery, so much about the Higgs boson gets mangled in the telling. It is not, as is sometimes claimed, the sole source of matter's heft – Einstein taught us that mass and energy are two sides of the same coin, so there is (ahem) no such massive hole for a tiny particle to fill. But the vanishingly small speck identified in the Large Hadron Collider last year, whose "spin" is this week confirmed as being Higgs-like, ought to be regarded with awe.

So, they’ve found ‘the Force’? The real question is...if the Higgs Boson particle CAUSED the Big Bang that created everything-where did the Higgs Boson particle come from and where WAS it if there wasn’t any ‘there’ yet?
Far from eliminating a Creator from the process-as most scientists want to do- it just makes it all the more glaring that ‘nothing’ cannot spontaneously create ‘everything’ when there is nowhere for the something to be in the first place.
Except in the mind and will of God.
I’ll hold my enthusiasm until it’s confirmed a few more times. What we have here is a theory first, then experiments looking for evidence to “prove” the theory. And after multiple failures, they finally find the missing particle. That’s backwards, and something I think even Einstein would agree with.
Death to all misplaced apostrophes!!
Such things are beyond my level of thinking.
