6 Reasons Why The 'God Particle' Matters


In the world of science, the excitement doesn't mount much higher than the frenzy yesterday around the announcement that scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher may have found the 'God particle.' The discovery is called a boson, a class of sub-atomic particle, but the description stopped just short of confirming that it's the long-sought Higgs boson particle.

While there are still questions to ask and research to do to confirm it is indeed the Higgs boson, physicists see massive implications to the discovery.

Will you stop referring this as 'god particle' already?

Matters not what it's called, because it's irrelevant. Go out & sit in your god;s sun, Anonymous, and watch the clouds pass.

It may help answer the "what", but has no bearing on the "why", which is eminently more important.
