Higgs Boson goes to a Catholic church.
The vicar says "You're not welcome here."
Higgs Boson replies, "You can't have mass without me."

The Higgs boson is often referred to as the "God particle" by the media, after the title of Leon Lederman's popular science book on particle physics, The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question? While use of this term may have contributed to increased media interest, many scientists dislike it, since it overstates the particle's importance, not least since its discovery would still leave unanswered questions about the unification of quantum chromodynamics, the electroweak interaction, and gravity, as well as the ultimate origin of the universe. Higgs is an atheist, and is displeased that the Higgs particle is nicknamed the "God particle", because the term "might offend people who are religious".
- Oh no, that would be terrible considering their exemplary record in behaving nicely and only saying nice things. Pussy.mikotondria3

“I told myself: 'I am surrounded by unknown things.' I imagined man without ears, suspecting the existence of sound as we suspect so many hidden mysteries, man noting acoustic phenomena whose nature and provenance he cannot determine. And I grew afraid of everything around me – afraid of the air, afraid of the night. From the moment we can know almost nothing, and from the moment that everything is limitless, what remains? Does emptiness actually not exist? What does exist in this apparent emptiness?”
― Guy de Maupassant- there's a theory that space isn't empty... it's filled with plasma and stuffs. and of course i can't back it up when i can't remember where i read that article...pango
- remember where i read that article...pango
- Pango, plasma makes a lot more sense than gluon/muon/dark matter, etc, what you were looking for is http://www.thunderbo…GeorgesII

which is a theory I've delved into which makes so much more senseGeorgesII

Enough figureheads in the scientific community are getting genuinely moist over that I'm impressed.
Even Coxxy called it 'the most important discovery' of his lifetime (behind the Lolcube).
Do I understand enough to get me through a conversation? Fuck no. Am I still excited by what could follow? Yes

It's pretty fucking phenomenal what we've been able to discover and create in out extremely brief existence.
I can't even begin to fathom where we'll be in the next 2000 years (if we make it)

this is supposed to be a simple explanation,
still doesn't make any sense and is full of theories and theorems that are only made to fill the hole left out by other theories that were made up to fill the hole made of by other theories that were made up to fill the hole made of by other theories that were made up to fill the hole made of by other theories that were made up to fill the hole made of by other theories that were made up to explain what could be explained by understanding plasma physics- This is very simple to understand, I don't understand why people don't get it.utopian
- Oh wait... Nevermind!
http://youtu.be/IDsn…utopian - care to explain U, I have tons of question and I'm genuinely interested in having response that isn't just a confirmation theory biasGeorgesII
- theory bias.GeorgesII
- Everyone here on qoobs know how intelligent you are I've tons of Question, will you answer them?GeorgesII

Atheists should not believe in this because you know, nothing proves that it exists.

I don't understand why you don't understand how to understand the scientists understanding of the unknown unknowns

Im having a very hard time caring about this.
- you're slow. it's expected. it will be all the rage in your head in the next decade. ALL THE RAGE!lvl_13

With all the comic sans and not even one suggestion on what to actually use this discovery for.....i think the CERN people need a PR-team.
- did you even watch the media event? they said "...thanks to this discovery, next step, time travel..."prophetone
- maybe some things don't need PR and a living brand to be interesting...MrT

I believe the term is 'That shit cray.'

this is truly an amazing discovery, there's no two ways about that one. big day for science.
