Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
Higgs, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
It exists to sell British newspapers
Heaven knows I’m no physicist, but I’d be willing to make a gentleman’s wager that there is only one substance in the universe, everything arises from it, and the universe is filled with it. And God is apart from it.
Higgs, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Yet long enough for the Gov't to have spent your grand-child's inheritance...
What are the particles called that make up the brains of those who profess themselves to be wise?
Foolicles!

Yes, I too cannot see any practical use for the Higgs boson but I am quite the stolid thinker and that does not mean others will never use it. As a key to that physicist's dream of a "Grand Unified Theory", it might be a stepping stone to larger issues. I am glad that there is still such research going on. This is the legacy that our generation can hand down to subsequent ones that they too can stand on the shoulders of giants.
Yet, one wonders if we in the US had been able to assemble the same kind of international science alliance to build the Texas Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) that was started in 1987 and cancelled in 1993. It was designed to be 3 times larger and potentially even more powerful. It turned out to be a too expensive dream for a single country to build, BUT if we had, would this have been decades old news by now?
Wait! The good professor is selling himself short. You see with the EZ current financial crisis it's gonna be a lot harder to find some quasi-government agency to pay a bunch of overfed long haired bespectacled birckenstocked frat boys at CERN to collide particles against anti particles for fun and profit. Not while the greeks are jumping out of windows over their pensions. But all this loose talk about the deity is bound get the attention of some grant writing committe at Harvard, Princeton or maybe NASA itself. The practical application is separating us from our taxpayers money!!!
Don’t you just LOVE the hubris of science? They spend their lives and BILLIONS of dollars to find out the “nature of the universe” when the whole answer is right there in Genesis — if they would just accept it.
Oh, how MIGHTILY these liberal atheists fight against God, only to make no headway at all. At the end, everything comes back to the Bible and THEY CAN’T STAND IT! LOL!
All their theories (evolution, the big bang, etc.) have been discredited and Genesis STILL STANDS! I love it!
Hey, Lucy...
splain this to me...
If Higgs Boson has a lifespan of a millionth of a millionth of a millionth of a millionth of a second, how does it stick around long enough to give everything around us the property of weight? If it goes away so quickly, why do we still have weight all around us, in anything that we see and feel and touch?
Lucy? Where you going???
The “God particle” is really the one that gave rise to the Higgs Boson particle, if that Higgs Boson really exists.
So, onward we continue, to find the real “God” particle.
The questions will continue, and the research will then have to concentrate on the “What” and “Why” and “How”, and most importantly, the “Who” particles.
The particles may come to be understood, and even “seen” or detected”, but, the bigger questions will remain, and science alone WILL NOT have the answers. What is really happening right now, is the attempt to understand the universe through “reverse engineering”. Reverse engineering the universe, will not answer the questions of “WHO”, or why, about its creation. The engineering of the universe, started with something that cannot be reverse engineered.
Higgs Boson, will only add more questions, and won’t even begin to explain how the universe really began.
