Higgs Boson Particle Found

[Massive Marc]

For anyone that's interested:

"The results are preliminary but the 5 sigma signal at around 125 GeV we’re seeing is dramatic. This is indeed a new particle. We know it must be a boson and it’s the heaviest boson ever found,” said CMS experiment spokesperson Joe Incandela. “The implications are very significant and it is precisely for this reason that we must be extremely diligent in all of our studies and cross-checks."

This is truly very exciting if it is indeed a boson particle!!

Could someone explain the importance and potential applications of this discovery to us momgoloids please

Absolutely nothing. This is simply evidence supporting most of the major theories of physics. They hypothesized this particle as being necessary to the way they think the universe works, and then set about to find it to "prove" the hypothesis. So they built a large gizmo to find it, and lo and behold it's there. That's all.

It would be pretty naive (and stupid) to say one of the biggest scientific findings in our life time "changes nothing"

God just got proven and now all the atheist scum are scrambling to find another excuse.

Doors, actually a physicist by the name of Amit Goswami has already claimed to have proved God exists through Quantum Physics:

His documentary was interesting.

Deepak Chopra uses the same claims to sell his books. Both are absurd.

/agree

It's amazing how much legitimacy using the word "quantum" adds to complete and utter mystical bullshit to people that don't understand what the hell quantum means. Chopra has been peddling the same woo for years on this, it's not surprising other people want to jump on the gravy train.

When someone other than a physicist says "quantum" treat it as lies! Kind of like "One time a friend of mine..." or "I'll tell ya this, no kidding, ... "

So physicists that don't believe in God = good and worth listening to; physicists that believe in God and try to understand spirituality through physics = bad and crackpots you shouldn't listen to.

Way to keep an open, scientific mind.
