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

While I don't necessarily believe all/any of his theories, I wouldn't call them absurd. I thought his documentary was pretty interesting and that kind of outside of the box thinking, I believe, helps with progressing our understanding of.. well everything. If he's wrong we learn, if he's right we learn. I don't believe he's just another wack job trying to sell books.

Mr Sprakle is very right with his comment and as a side note: I really think any explanation of God in any form is going to sound absurd. Short of him walking on a cloud up to the Vatican in front of thousands of video cameras, it's going to be a tough pill to swallow.

I mean, having the technology to observe it will undoubtedly lead to more discoveries, but in and of itself, this changes nothing.

Observation is the first step of progress. learn how it works and you can work your way into manipulation. This changes everything

No one knew what the hell you might use an electron for when it was first hypothesized, I think we figured out useful things to use it for.... dragon pixels!

One cool thing I've seen as a possible use is to "de-mass" spacecraft (since the Higgs field imbues other particles with mass) so they can travel at lightspeed without needing infinite energy to accelerate their mass to lightspeed. Doesn't do squat for time dialation but travelling at the speed of light would mean that from your perspective, all trips of all distances would be instantaneous.

We got God haters up in this thread? Things should get interesting as usual then!
