GENEVA (AP) - Physicists said Thursday they are now confident they have discovered a crucial subatomic particle known as a Higgs boson - a major discovery that will go a long ways toward helping them explain why the universe is the way it is.

They made the statement following study of the data gathered last year from the world's largest atom-smasher, which lies beneath the Swiss-French border outside Geneva. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, said that what they found last year was, indeed, a version of what is popularly referred to as the "God particle."

The “reason” (for everything in this reality) is found in Gods Word.

The caveat is what a child can understand is rejected by “educated” men because you must accept the truth, by faith, not logic.

This particle will never be found because our Creator needed nothing else but to Will what we experience as reality into being. When they find His Love they will discover what they really seek.

yes thats pretty heavy I know but everytime I see this God particle stuff I feel compelled to speak the truth. so sue me!

The “God particle” moniker was and is a journalistic construct (like “assault weapon”) based on a mistake by a journalist that got cemented in by repetition. Like “assault weapon”.

My father joined the National Guard in 1940. According to him the nickname “jeep” was applied to an Army staff car whose hood resembled the Popeye cartoon character “The Jeep”’s nose. Life Magazine did an article on “This is the Army” in which they misidentified the truck, quarter ton, 4 x 4 as “the jeep”. With the influx of millions of new soldiers into the Army with the onset of World War II, whose concept of the jeep was from the enormously influential Life Magazine, the misidentification stuck, unto this very day.

“...a major discovery that will go a long ways toward helping them explain why the universe is the way it is.”

If they really want to know why the universe is the way it is, all they have to do is read the Bible and believe it.

The God gene remains too complex to find yet they want us to believe we evolved randomly from slime.

Ironic isn’t it?

The Higgs is no more a God particle than any other particle. The name was a marketing gimmick for a book title and the press has run with it ever since.

I don't exactly disagree, but physicists referred to it as the God damned particle because it was so elusive. The author originally wanted to name his book "The God Damned Particle", but there was some squeamishness about the name, on whatever grounds. The publisher liked the name "The God Particle" as an alternative, since it would give the book more shelf appeal than something more accurate and descriptive, like "The Intermediate Gravitational Boson". I agree, the name was devised as a way to sell books, but journalists grabbed on to it. The headline in your local paper declaring "Scientists Find God Particle" will attract more readers than "Physicist Claim Measurements Consistent With Observation of Intermediate Graviational Boson at the 95 Percent Confidence Level." For some odd reason.

explain why the universe is the way it is

Uhhh, because God created it?

Heisenberg’s principle does not say we can know nothing, it simply bounds the certainty with which we can measure position and momentum simultaneously.

I came up with that knowledge long ago, it is quite obvious. ...clearing throat...The universe IS the way it IS because it AIN’T the way it AIN’T. Who can possibly say otherwise.

Im not surprised the origin of the name is blasphemy.

All day God reaches out His hand to all men.

But Night comes and often unexpectedly.

Bosuns are easy to find.
Next we just need to find one named Higgs and weigh him.
/ bad joke.

“They ‘think’ that the Higgs Boson makes up a field that imparts mass. It does so by imparting inertia on the quarks that make up protons.”

That is interesting. If that is the case, why do electrons have mass?

"This particle will never be found because our Creator needed nothing else but to Will what we experience as reality into being. When they find His Love they will discover what they really seek."

Well, they may find all kinds of things. But, the One behind the particles will never be found...except by those He draws to Himself.

"yes thats pretty heavy I know but everytime I see this God particle stuff I feel compelled to speak the truth. so sue me!"

No suit from this direction, my FRiend. Their name for it simply discloses a hunger to find the unifying principle at which they can look, but which will not look back at them. These men wish to be God.

I get a chuckle from their research. They are making the same mistake as Einstein. Einstein knew the correct methodology but not how to use it.

Einstein stated, “A problem is not solved at the same level of consciousness at which it was created.” He was correct, but very limited in his ability to reach the higher levels of consciousness.

By increasing the consciousness level of the observer, the observer becomes one with the object being observed (consciousness physically expands as it increases in frequency) and this provides the observer with the God ability to manifest, change, or reformulate the observed object. The higher the operational frequency of consciousness, the greater control consciousness has over matter and energy. (This is how Jesus manifested objects)

I do a demonstration with groups where I have a volunteer imagine an object such as a door in an open space in a room. They can either leave the room or turn away from their imagined object after they visualize it and I walk forward until my hand feels their thought formed object and can identify its location. Often I will tell them each location they imagined their object prior to leaving it at one location and sort their imagined object from all the other imagined objects by observers in the group. Thoughts have real physical tangible attributes, each specific to the individual manifesting them.

(Note: to further demonstrate this, I then ask the person visualizing the object to lock onto the imagined object again and close their eyes. I then take hold of their imagined object and move it in various directions. This causes their physical bodies to move in what ever direction I move the imagined object. Often it knocks them off their feet. (I use this to teach the importance of forgiveness as when you are angry with someone you are attaching yourself to them and giving them control over yourself.) This demonstration is done while I am 15 to 20 feet from the individual, their eyes are closed and I do not say anything, thus bypassing all sensory input.)

The key to doing this is to raise my consciousness level. The higher the operational level, the more physical other people’s thoughts become. Also, the higher the operational level of the person manifesting the object, the more physical it becomes. I have also found that if I do not speak the language of the person I am working on, I must go to an even higher level to decode the contents of the thought prior to the subject manifesting the thought into language. The Tower of Babel concept is very real.

There is a safety net built into consciousness in order that people who experience low frequency consciousness such as fear and anger has limited ability to manifest. This serves to prevent them from manifesting thoughts that harm themselves or others.

In short, the God particle exists at many levels and has many different attributes, with each attribute specific to the operational frequency of consciousness being utilized. This is also how prayer works.

When you observe a consciousness of higher operational frequency than your own, it appears as “light.” This results from attributes of consciousness similar to what the Dutch atomic physicist Neals Bohr observed when an electron moves from an outer orbital to an inner orbital and gives off a photon and energy. This is the reason so many religions refer to God as “Light.”

Also, Einstein was missing the variable of consciousness frequency when considering time as a function of the speed of light. Time is a function of the operational frequency of consciousness divided by the speed of light. Thus as consciousness frequency increases to approach the speed of light, there is a time distortion. This is the reason that one day in heaven is like many years at the earthly level. It is also the reason that when consciousness frequency exceeds the speed of light (which can only happen when cleanses the soul of all sin (being pure like a child)) one automatically has the gift of prophesy.

This is also the reason in Matthew 24, that when the Messiah returns He will be like the lightning in the east that is seen in the west. (He’s already here... we just need to be raised up in operational consciousness frequency in order to observe Him.) This is why Jesus stated “My Father and I are One” after going through His dark night of the soul in the wilderness. Communion is merely us recognizing that we exist within Jesus just as he exists within his Father. Use Russian nesting dolls as a model and this all becomes simple to understand.

The problem with observing the God particle is that they must lower its operational frequency to observe the manifested attributes. If they raised their consciousness, the God Particle would be visible to their human senses.
