The God Particle

September 2007
It's one of the great unanswered questions of science. What gives matter its mass? By generating conditions present moments after the big bang, scientists hope to locate the elusive 'God Particle'. "This is going to take us to the next layer of understanding", enthuses Prof Geoff Taylor. The Hadron Collider at CERN, due to be switched on next year, will shoot beams of energy around a 27 km loop, smashing them into each other at the speed of light. It's all in the hope of detecting the Higgs Boson, or 'God' particle, thought to give matter its mass. CERN scientists will also create mini black holes and search for dark matter. As Taylor states: "We are on the verge of discovering how our universe evolved from the first few fractions of a second."

Contemplate much less the 'I shall progress,' than the 'I' stand in 'my way'.While you use thoughts which attract or repulse you only for purposes of stimulation, you are only half alive.You are also cooperating in keeping yourself in good training to be conditioned by others.There are a lot of people who cannot stand the tension of waiting.These are the ones who have two alternatives: either to stand the tension of waiting or to be harmed by it.

You lot should be more worried about the technological Singularity. If anything is going to destroy our stay here it will be that. Good day to you people... time to look at your last dawn in wonder, well around 24 years away anyway.
