Where is that Higgs Boson? (I know, many of you are asking what is a Higgs Boson). Maybe CERN will find it soon. Stay tuned! The Large Hadron Collider fires up in September beneath France and Switzerland.
See geeky physics rap at YouTube
Once upon a time, maybe 20 years ago, I gave a long spiel--well, not that long, maybe a 30-40 mile drive, more like a condensed overview--to a friend about virtual particles, the birth of the universe and how the big bang (in theory) happened, how the Higgs boson (in theory) caused the inflation of the early universe, and how therefore God is the Higgs boson. In theory.
But maybe you've heard about the search by physicists for what they are calling the "God Particle?" It's the Higgs boson!
This stuff is fascinating! It gives me chills!
The universe is a strange and wonderful place, more strange and wonderful than we can comprehend with our little "rational" brains and our measly five senses. I have lots more to say about this, but I'm tired now. And yes, of course, God is much more than a Higgs boson.
