I cannot find information about what the ‘god’ particle is, and why it is called the ‘god’ particle. I do see it is linked to atheism somehow.

But the article says it answers fundamental questions about the universe.

wha tha?

Physicists have a weird sense of humor.

It is far more accurately called the Higgs Bosom and has been by the Standard Model of particle physics. It has not yet been actually observed but effects ties to it in the theoretical model have. The “god particle” is just the name given it by the MSM to needle religious people. The press wants the reaction so they can have yet another story about “look how dumb these people are”. More of today’s hyper political atmosphere and the capture of the press by evangelical atheists.

No physicist calls it that; it’s called the Higgs Boson and is expected to be the agent that gives matter mass.
