'God particle' may have been seen

No offense, but how long ago were you in school? Quarks are a relatively recent discovery, and you probably wouldn't have been taught about them in school until oh, the early-mid seventies, at the earliest.

It has nothing to do directly with defending our country except to make it worth defending.

I've seen that before, but without attribution. Good to see where it comes from. It's a noble statement, but unfortunately it's one that could be uttered by any bureaucrat (even the worst of them) who is defending his budget.

This would all be great, but 'occupied' lol is should rage his head up and stop all talk.

Anyway.

I've always believed that neutrinos are not massless, and make up the majority of dark matter. I believe even.. photons.. have a mass vector. It just appromixates zero. But not zero.

I've thought since the mid 80's that nothing can leave an impression on the world without mass, and that means neutrinos have mass. To the latest studies, they have.

There's a mass/enegy variance between kelvin and Planck's constant. From a virtual zero energy to a virtual infinite energy. Since e=mc^2, I believe there's a solid limit at the extremes. No energy is really massless, and no mass is without energy.

It's all relative. It depends on how many dimensions there are in reality, and how you define mass. It could be that Einstein only caught on to a tip of the iceberg--so to speak. If we discover other dimensions, it could redefine our concept of matter, reality, etc.
