God Particle
Scientists have found yet another subatomic particle. Call it the Higgs Boson, God Particle, Goddamn Particle, or whatever, but it cannot be the smallest subatomic particle ever discovered. There will be more subatomic particles yet to be discovered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why? Because there is no such thing as the smallest or smallest particle. Something cannot be made of nothing.Parts of something constitute that something. Each part is made of smaller parts, and each smaller part is made of yet smaller parts.It is like many small bubbles within a bubble,and each small bubble within that bubble is made of yet many smaller bubbles,and it goes on and on to the infinitely small.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe the ultimate reality is one of Infinity, both in time and space. There are the infinitely small as well as the infinitely large. Whether this is the absolute truth or complete truth, nobody can prove it clearly with physical evidence once and for all, because there are forever the distant unknowns and the infinite unknowables. Einstein says 2 things are certain: infinity and human stupidity, but he has doubt about the former. What is your belief or understanding ?

The term "God Particle" came from the book "The God Particle / If the Universe is the Answer, What is the Question?," by Leon Lederman & Dick Teresi (first published in 1993 and reissued in 2006), which is in the bibliography of my free ebook on comparative mysticism.
ReplyDeleteIn his 2006 Preface Dr. Lederman, a Nobel laureate in physics, wrote:
Now as for the title, The God Particle, my coauthor, Dick Teresi, has agreed to accept the blame. I mentioned the phrase as a joke once in a speech, and he remembered it and used it as the working title of the book. "Don't worry," he said, "no publisher ever uses the working title on the final book." The title ended up offending two groups: 1) those who believe in God and 2) those who do not. We were warmly received by those in the middle.
Dr. Lederman had wanted to call it the Goddamn Particle ... ha ha ha !
ReplyDeleteLet's be clear: the scientists found a subatomic particle, not God. Call it the Goddamn Particle, God Particle, Devil Particle or whatever. It just doesn't prove the existing of any supernatural beings. Have a nice day !
