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.

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?

I didn't say anything about spirituality.
