Scientists find signs of 'God particle'

Scientists at Switzerland's CERN research centre say they have found signs of a theoretical sub-atomic particle believed to be the basic building block of the universe.

The scientists conducted two separate experiments to try to locate the so-called God particle, wherein protons were fired into each other inside a 27Km long tunnel.

They have stopped short of calling it an official discovery, but the research has got the science world buzzing.

So Higgs's Boson enters a church and the priest says: "You're not allowed in here, get out", then the Higg's Boson replies: "but without me, how can you have mass?" BUZZINGA

Wow like the first two pages of comments are replies.... CC-cc-cc-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!

So... if there is no Aether and Tesla was wrong, then how come the Earth is being visited by flying saucers almost on a daily basis? What is their energy source? How can light propagate as a "wave" if there is no "medium"? How come the planet is still growing in size? How come gravity and acceleration be the same thing, and what is inertia? If there is no Aether we shouldn't be here. The Universe is kinetic and eternal. Most people can't understand this, so they create stupid "theories".

... 4th and final comment

The second experimet has only one purpose: To test the mechanical stability of the apparatus. If the pattern changes smoothly then thats just what you would expect with gravity and a non-existent aether. If the pattern displays any jumps, a mechanical connection somewhere is too weak or loose.

It shows that the guy in the video is drawing wrong conclusion and works on the assumption that the materials he used have infinite hardness, not more.

... third comment Any movement around an axis that is not perfectly vertical will cause bending of the apparatus due to gravity, unless you rule that out by design, which is a very hard task. The proper way to do the experiment in a vertical setup is to set it up static, without any movement, and use the fact that the earth rotates (through aether), and watch for 24 hours.

All experiment 2 tells you is that gravity can bend parts of the apparatus in the nanometer scale.

... second comment You do it horizontally, and because you want to study the existence or non-existence of aether, you choose a time of day when the movement of earth around the sun is most rapid in the horizontal direction. To keep it perfectly horizontal you can have the whole device float in mercury, or on an precisely controlled air cushion. The conclusions in the video you asked me to watch are just totally wrong. Experiment 1 is good, number 2 is for the trashcan.

@jatigre1

I finally watched it, sorry that it took me so long. The first experiment is good, the second one adds systemic mistakes. Its not a new discovery at all. It only shows that gravity pulling or pushing against different parts of the apparatus fucks up the results. I bet if you build it more sturdy, the differences will be reduced.

You do it horizontally, so that gravity doesnt bend your apparatus. second comment needed.

@annoloki Believing in God is stupid? That was rude. I was only respondin to an atheist who was offended by the name 'God paritcle.' If you believe that the religious person is always inherently wrong then make a study of it and leave me the hell alone. thanks

@Kooshkff I read quite a few, I can't see anything you might be referring to on a quick look but tbh, I'm not gonna spend ages reading everything in search of ignorant comments. Fact is "God particle" is short for "God damn hard to find particle", and anybody offended by it is both stupid and ignorant of that fact. Just because believing in god is stupid doesn't mean that somebody who doesn't believe in god is automatically clever. I don't think anyone's claiming that.

@annoloki

Are you sure about that? Read the rest of the comments :P

[annoloki]

@Kooshkff It seems to be the religious that don't like the name
