Catholics Have the Pope, Physicists

Have the God Particle. It is now official, the Higgs Boson is believed to be "discovered" and now we can go forth to rule the universe.

Wow. I didn't think any significant confirmation would come so quickly. There won't be any huge practical developments from it, but it's huge for the theoretical-model folk.

I always find it amazing how practical developments DO eventually spring from what at first appear to be theoretically focused discoveries. Time will tell on this one.

I dread what kind of practical developments could come out of the “god particle”…can you say “lathe of heaven”.

Still waiting for my flying car......

Takes more faith to believe a 'god particle' could even exist.

[Foil]

The "God Particle" name is misleading (most scientists dislike it), because it has nothing whatsoever to do with God, or faith, or anything spiritual whatsoever.

I want portals. Can we get busy inventing portals so we don't have to worry about the speed of light and taking forever to get anywhere?

[Burlyman]

I didn't say anything about spirituality.
