LHC Claims new particle discovery
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-18702455
Cern scientists reporting in the UK and Geneva claim the discovery of a new particle consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson.
The particle has been the subject of a 45-year hunt to explain how matter attains its mass.
CMS, one of the two Higgs-hunting experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, has reached a level of certainty worthy of a "discovery".
The other experiment, Atlas, has yet to report its results
Interesting times.
Confirmation of the Higgs boson appears to imply that there is a Higgs field that provides mass to anything. And this Higgs field is labelled by some as the Higgs-ether and this apparently has the potential to clash with general relativity.
You can't trust a meta-ethical moral relativist since such a person can abuse reason to justify any act.
Those guys from TK discovered a new particle?
If that shyte doesn't get them laid nothing will.Originally Posted by abzo

A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Whoops.
That which comes into existence will eventually break apart and pass away
The antichrist particle to some. But yes, that thing...
Why is it considered anti christ?
Does this particle disprove that GOD exists? Most know it's fiction but would this be conclusive evidence that god is a lie?
The black-hole nonsense that the xtian brigade got a stiffy about...
No.
Do you think we will ever have evidence that invisible unicorns don't exist?
Edit: even though some believe they are extinct
This particle has got sweet nothings to do with God, some daft scientist shortened it's nickname "the God dammit particle", because it proved so hard to find with so many false discoveries, to the God particle and of course the media picked up on it and use it to drive religiots nuts!!!
Elementary particle physics is the only branch of science that religious nuts absolutely cannot comment about, so please don't invite them in by calling it the God particle...

.... and thanks for all the fish.
I don't know why people think that empirical science can confirm or refute the notion that creation ex nihilo is true or false, or think that empirical science can confirm or refute the notion that every contingent being can continue to exist without something sustaining/conserving it in existence. Conflating unicorns with God is also dishonest or ignorant or a combination of both. But that is a story for another time.
So no, this discovery has no theological significance.
