Go to Naut's Thoughts

- Go to The 'God particle'?
One idiot quoted it, and the rest of the idiots in the news media perpetuated it. Nothing new or unusual . . .

BOSON- HIGGS PARTICLE
this, Boson-Higgs particle that, we have been hearing the whole week. I understand the have been searching for it for the past forty years and now that they have found it I was expecting them to shout Eureka! Einstein must be turning over in his grave because they say this particle is the missing link in his equation that explains how matter is created, hence the 'God Particle'. More of the 'Rolandi' stuff that peeved me in the past in Physiology.

I suppose a name has to be contrived to add interest Naut
It is hard to imagine what it means, I expect you know
but the majority probably have no conception.
At least it has been recognized as a worthy endeavour.

Yes I know it isn't the God particle...in fact dare I say this....I really don't know what the heck it is although I have tried really hard to grasp the importance of it ....and failed. It must be your fault for not explaining it here on blogit in terms we blonde's can understand....now be careful...Naut...the broom is hanging out for a ride!!

Thanks for making us aware that they did not come up with the name "God Particle."

I always get a kick out of seeing the Nobel winners and what they've
done. So many others working hard on other projects we never hear about. The universe and our understanding of it is going to change exponentially over the next few generations.

LOL - physicist Lederman said they called it the God Particle because the publishers wouldn't let them call it the Goddamn Particle, which is a more apt name for it.
