These gelatin people are creepy as fuck.

Diana has a pair of large Higgs Bosons

[bruce keeler]

too bad diane was wearing a bra

[Heimer Dinger]

that gelatin guy has massive broad shoulders. totally mirim'

[timothy lau]

Yes. Because a couple hundred years ago, God "said" the earth was flat and therefore it was right? Just cuz.

I wonder if indeed scientists found sparkling particles shaped like "EM" or "W" - the CG for this one is horrendous.

Diane has big tits!

"Breaking news,"(???) you'd better hold onto your hat friend. We are far from understanding as much as we "can ever know in this dimension/age". Probabilities would indicate that we have just scratched the surface and that the great majority of things that "can be known" in this universe have only just begun to be uncovered. This is not to say that ultimately no type of "God" can exist (I actually do believe some "greater force" must be out there), but it is to say that your argument is garbage.

Finally, I really like the last line of your comment. It is the only reason I took the time to try and give a speculative explanation, and let you know that I have a fair idea of what I am talking about so that I could tell you just how close to accurate you may be about how pre-space-time "space" and space-time itself seem 2b acting as a stretcher of the energy (matter/ mass/ info, whatever you want to call it) which has allowed for all of existence to take place&have a precept of linear time.

However it is possible mathematically to also use the strong force (which still has a way to go to before it's mathematical contradictions are worked out, because the force dissipates quicker than mathematically predicted) as a possible field interacting with the higgs field to give rise to quarks, but that is a bit speculative. Also, a type of "space" had to exist pre "big bang", but until the big bang "space-time" as we know it likely did not exist. Instead it likely evolved do to the forces.

IF quarks are the MOST elementary particle in protons and neutrons than the question will be "What is interacting with the (mathematically proposed) higgs field?" Whatever is interacting with the higgs field enough to excite it into giving mass to these quarks will then be called the "cause" of the quarks, like electrons forces are "caused" by the electromagnetic field excitation and given mass by higgs field excitation. The strong force is considered 2b in the transfer of gluons between quarks.

[cccaij]

Also, I believe the current postulate on why there is more than one elementary particle is because there was more than one field in play during the initial conditions. The electromagnetic field acts/reacts through the particles that it creates due to excitation, the electrons, and through their interactive forces (electricity and magnetism). Quarks aren't yet known to be elementary particles, but are assumed to be the elementary building blocks of protons and neutrons.
