Kinda wish the Higgs boson never got the nickname of "The God particle"

I'm just saying, its possible to believe in the big bang theory and believe in God. God needed to create us somehow, why not by using the big bang method?

MrReynholm · 03-07-2012 06:19PM

How'd religion get into this thread?

Don't insult this (hopefully, anyway) news by dragging your book written by morons living in caves a few thousand years ago into this.

No it's not.

Now it's time for you to shut up and go do your colouring in like a good little lad.

Do we not have to pay back the German Bondholders now???

It means you can teleport yourself to mars to get away from your debt. I suppose time travel is on the cards as well, so we could in theory go back in time and assasinate Bertie.

*Ahem* a science thread in AH, where 4 of the 5 words in the thread title are 'Proof of God found'.

(OP, can you make that a small 'g' please?)

Are you saying that people who believe in God don't stay up late?

Well, he does advocate that his people prod and enter the smallest gaps they can find anyway.

Why is it called the God particle ?

Yeah, how'd it happen? No one could have predicted it...

I think it was the name of a book done to popularise the science behind the higgs boson, and nothing sells as good as a controversial title. Lots of scientists don't actually like the name.

(Good ol' Wiki.. Didn't just read it there, had read it before... :pac:)

The name had nothing to do with religion, just an excuse for a few people to groupthink their attack on religion to garner thanks.

Meanwhile I am defending materialism in the Philosophy forum against a very slippery customer and I don't see any of the heroes of page one in there.

Yeah but it also has the word "particle" in it.

Usually the bible bashing crowd run for their lives when science pops its head up. That or casually tries to put their arm around it and go "see all that good **** you guys discovered? Well, that's cause our God wanted you to" like a bunch of uneducated, fence straddling cúnts.

Well what do you think would happen when people see the word "God" in the thread title.

Do you need a degree in science to figure that one out??

It would be nice if this thread were for people with science degrees, actually.

Get off the fence - how do you really feel!?

What ever hapened to that lady who used to prance around on O'Connell Street,beside the Anna Livia Fountain,holding a bible and singing to everyone?

She allways dressed in her Sundays Best clothes

People would stand looking at her in utter bemusement

I think Tom Cruise has an opening for you in his "clique"...:D

Benny_Cake · 03-07-2012 06:52PM

Getting away from the infantile remarks about religious faith and back to the Higgs Boson, obviously there is the intellectual satisfaction of filling in the gap in the Standard Model. Is there any speculation as to any technological applications that this discovery might lead to? I find this stuff fascinating if way beyond my understanding.

Why would you think that? Were you mumbling Tom Cruise to yourself all day because he was mentioned in the news yesterday ?

tomcruisetomcruisetomcruise

and, so you decided to mention him in this thread twice for no apparent reason?

Or is it you cant tell the difference between science and scientology?

But atheist bible bashers don't believe in God ?

Its really about the Standard Model. It is difficult to explain but the Higgs Boson explains mass. With the verification, they haven't yet created a unified model - one which incorporates string theory and quantum mechanics. In any case the mathematics is right, and it is extraordinary that we can know so much with such limited tools.

Ah shyte,cant remeber if thats was Tom Cruise that said that.
No wait,it was Enda Kenny who said that.

Or was it????

With regards to technology, the next big advances will be made in the area of quantum computing.

Like dark matter, I can't see an application for this particular particle at this point in time but then the same could have been said about quantum physics not all that long ago.
