I am doing some reading on all of this. Seems like such a discovery could help unify relativity (big picture) and quantum theory (small picture).
The god particle somehow would explain how subatomic particles (virtual particles because they seem more like ideas than things) are connected or something.
This research is significant because they might lead to technology like instantaneous faster than light communication, the possibility of sending messages backward in time, how complex information in DNA and RNA first come into being, taping energy from empty space or perhaps shaping physical reality through consciousness.
