Where in the bible does it say that God is responsible for mass? Where in any scientific publication does it say that mass is where life comes from? Can we stop referring to the Higgs Boson particle as the fucking 'God Particle' already? Who comes up with this shit?

All the people who say it is going to end the world and all that shit piss me off too.

BTW it was delayed by a piece of bread today.

Should be a really minor delay.

My Physics Lab Instructor works for CERN and does stuff on the LHC. Its really fun talking to him about the whole theory of it ending the world. I'll ask him about this the next time I see him, and get some feedback on it.

Its called the god particle because it is so important to unlocking of the grand unified theory of physics which is holy grail material for physicists.

I never liked the "God particle" moniker. It is constantly misunderstood why it has that name. "Genesis particle" or "Cosmic stem cell" would've been 100x more appropriate. A lot of people actually think that Higg's Boson research is literally trying to find God or make a magical religion out of science or something just because of the stupid nickname X.gif

Her bosons totally give me a hadron.

I did some research on the HB last week for an article, apparently most particle physicists hate the term "god particle."
