Here you go
I’ve seen evidence of the influence of God on the hearts of men, and of His natural law. I spent nothing. I gained everything.
Call me dubious. The Higgs Bosun can be described as the thing that imparts mass to other subatomic particles. As such, it must be one of the most common sub particles in the universe.
However, by trying to build a theory around this, they have set up a situation like, “If you throw dice a dozen times, and they come up snake eyes every time, it proves that God exists.”
It was never missing. It was there all the time................
.......I guess they researched old Benny Hill movies.
Ahhhh, but what is the Higgs Bosun made of?
The next particle found will be called “the bosons’ mate” for you sailors out there.
One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.
The scientist walked up to God and said, “God, we’ve decided that we no longer need you. We’re to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don’t you just go on and get lost?”
God listened very patiently and kindly to the man. After the scientist was done talking, God said, “Very well, how about this? Let’s say we have a man-making contest.” To which the scientist replied, “Okay, great!”
But, God added, “Now, we’re going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam.”
The scientist said, “Sure, no problem” and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.
God looked at him and said, “No, no, no. You go get your own dirt.
Several versions of this joke but this popped up first ... ;-)
“As such, it must be one of the most common sub particles in the universe.”
No...the Higgs Boson was assumed to have only been able to thrive in the earliest high-temperature, high-pressure moments of the big bang. Which is why it took such a high energy accelerator to see it in action.
That’s my meager understanding...I may be remembering wrong.
LOL matey.
If I had a bison, I would name him Higgs.
That's exactly what they said about electricity in the 18th century. Just to help you though, here's a brief list of how the study of particle physics has benefited us:
Stealth subs propelled by screws (propellers) that have been made possible by using low-noise amplifiers developed to study PP.
Superconducting cables that deliver power to an ever increasing number of Americans, developed initially for accelerators.
Speaking of accelerators, everything from the modern x-ray to the gamma knife come from PP.
In the same arena, the detectors used by all of these wonderful new medical imaging devices came from the study of PP.
Excellent question ... I wonder if the smartest guy in the room knows the answer .... probably not as it wasn’t on ESPN.

Meanwhile, general relativity and quantum mechanics are still incompatible.
"Oh, give me a home where the Higgs boson roam,
Where the quarks and antiparticles play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the Fermi are constant all day."
