Kaiser01 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I can only hope that if the physicists find these elusive particles, then they may be inclined to stop chasing particles. It's like a dog chasing a car. Yeah, pretty much. It's quite ingeniously retarded in my opinion. I mean, they can't be misguided, right? Because they get paid to do it. You know? Like people have never made money doing stupid shit. But maybe it opens up a wealth of information that launches us into an era of sustainable energy and unparallelled prosperity. Or a black hole. Meh. the black holes are about the size of a proton and dont remain stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hereticzero Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Higgs Boson walked into a church and the Priest yelled, 'We don't allow a Higgs Boson in here!' Higgs Boson replied, 'without me, how can you have mass?' (Something actually funny from Facebook.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like people have never made money doing stupid shit. Nearly all of our modern technology is based on manipulating electrons. Most of our GDP is built on technologies and products that were unimaginable when people first started studying electrons. Manipulating the HIggs boson could lead to another technological revolution. The HIggs is responsible for mass, thus it is also responsible for gravity. If you could produce HIggs bosons artificially you can also produce artificial gravity. If you could remove Higgs from ordinary matter it would be weightless, even on the surface of a planet. Manipulating Higgs effectively lets you manipulate space and gravity. Imagine what this would do for space travel alone. Then there are technologies we can't even imagine yet. When Ben Franklin discovered electricity, he couldn't imagine lightbulbs, cellphones, computers, internet, lasers, etc. He couldn't even imagine the need for such devices, yet they are the bulk of our economy now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I'm not saying that the potential for utlity is absent. But I do get sick and tired of particle chasing, AND particle chasers. When are we going to begin a serious examination of the organization which adheres in natural systems? And no, I don't mean entropy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply conferming that this particle exist requires one of the most expensive, complex machines in existance. Consider it an investment in our future.

Hey Skeptical! Great minds think alike! My partner Maureen (knowing that I'm a science geek) asked me why there was so much hullabaloo about the Higgs boson. (Just for the record, she's neither uninformed, nor unintelligent - she's brilliant in other areas, like Law, the Arts, languages, etc.) Anyway, my reply to her wasn't so different from what you've outlined above. The example I used was the Saturn V rocket we saw at Huntsville AL, some years ago. How much more efficient would it's engines be if the huge mass of it's fuel were somehow reduced using technologies based on Higgs field management? Who needs Gravitons? So how about this idea? If, as Einstein put it... "Space tells matter how to move. Matter tells space how to curve" ...then perhaps a steady, but carefully controlled, increase in the mass of a Deuterium pellet would also steadily increase the curvature of the local space-time continuum in and around it? Such an artifically deepened gravity well would have the effect of compressing whatever's inside it. Massive levels of compression (along with heat and magnetic containment) are needed to initiate and then sustain thermonuclear fusion, right? See where I'm going? Thanks, BAA.

Onyx Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Extremely exciting news! This will mean a lot for our future! I don't think it's the god particle but more like the mortar or glue particle. Unless of course we have a more sophisticated machine to detect the the smallest and the most fundamental particles we can conceive of. Whatever this results in, the Higgs Boson is definitely not the end of this matter. Science will go on fortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolorado Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 The Higgs Boson also brings into focus the very high probablity of parallel dimensions and universes. The formulas have long been worked out, they we waiting on the actual discovery of the Higgs. I highly recommend everyone read up on this, especially as ex-xians. When these formulas start shaking out, it will rock religion to the rotten roots for those who aren't brainwashed. Those who are brainwashed will continue to make excuses, but I predict Higgs effects will include a bunch of stuff that is not kind to religion. Reality will bite the dogma.

Carolorado Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 My picture is actually a picture of the superstring theory that is a giant step closer to being solved thanks to Higgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherJosh Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Are you being sarcastic here, Brother Josh? Hey, sorry for the late reply. Was on vacation touring some wine country! Yes, I was being sarcastic. Though I am a layman through and through I will say that from what I have learned and heard much of our difficulty in understanding QM is that it is extremely abstract mathematically and conceptually. It is one of our more verified branches of science, but it is hard to understand even for the foremost minds in physics. Still, in my opinion it is fun to read and learn about it.

roadrunner Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 you'll love this. In the sunday paper a xian wrote in that the because the "god particle" was found it just let use peek into another facet of gods wisdom. THen he went on to say "go ahead, find some more of god's particles". this is the mindless nonsense that gets published in our sunday paper. My wife showed the article to me like "HA! Check this out...". I ranted about how the writer was not a phycist or even a pastor for that matter and his opinion carried very little weight to people of other mindset. I then explained to her what the particle was and that "god particle" was a metaphor. WHY CANT SHE SEE THE TRUTH!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
