It wasn't until three years ago that we've actually been able to "see" an electron, yet there was absolutely no contest over whether electrons do exist or not for a whole lot longer than that.
Also, it's still not clear whether this is "the" Higgs Boson or the lightest of several Higgs Bosons, and further testing could take quite a few extra years.

ITT: theists butthurt about science brandishing agitated nonsense. News at 11.

Start by learning about the real reason why the Higgs Boson was dubbed "the god particle", no need to have a degree on particle physics to understand that particular issue.

The hubris of ignorance...

You seemed to have missed the irony. My jest and sarcasm is meant to point out how those scientists... grow up to forget the most basic methods of science in the pursuit of their own wealth, fame and agendas. The "cutting edge" science that you speak of is also a place of egos, profits and improper/incomplete scientific methods.

No where in this thread or any other have I ever said such a thing. How you could get that from my op can only be explained through some reading comprehension issues on your side. As for "making mistakes and adjusting a theory" you must first apply the actual scientific method first... else the mistakes you make are in fact your fault.



Far more so is your disturbing lack of reading comprehension





@ Cynter DeVries

Thx i am going to remember that link. It manages to explain that concept better then i ever have been able to.







Hello again Akita


That is a totally different story all together. Electricity and magnetism were a well documented and studied OBSERVABLE phenomena that could be seen and measured long before an actual electron could be "seen" visually. I'd say the best proof of their existence prior to seeing one was how cathode ray beams acted in an electric field and how they produced X-rays.

A "god particle" is a totally different thing that has no observable phenomena associated with it, whatsoever, outside of the imaginary role that Higgs intended it to play. A theory designed to plug the holes in their "theory of everything" AND they gave this man the Nobel Prize for it before it was even 100% confirmed. Remember, what they have found does not actually match what Higg's even predicted in the first place. It could just as well be something else all together.

I call that dirty science.

Maybe one day you will actually write down your own theories, have it peer-reviewed and perhaps publish a paper that will give you the recognition you so desperately crave.

Wouldn't you be better off posting on, say, one of the countless forums dedicated to scientific discoveries, discussions and results interpretations? Or is there some concern that you might get laughed off of those?

Besides, you don't know if I am posting on other forums right now do you? I usually am. This subject... not yet. But I will probably do so soon. ATM I have other concepts cooking and I like to do one at a time, per forum I choose to associate with.

You simply lack imagination

It is not the nuances that brings me to conflict, it is the questionable methods.
