Scientists catch glimpse of "God particle"

If only got existed he would be so proud that we found and named a molecule after him :' )

It doesn't exist. I am close to betting money they won't find anything.

I wonder what we could do with a "God" particle? Probably not a whole lot, in fact I expect we could nothing with it to start with. However, as ShadowSot correctly stated, it will verify the theory we currently have and would help us evolve it. On the other other, if they don't find it within the energy range predicted, it will likewise help us as it will tell us that the theory is wrong and that we need to rethink things. It doesn't exist. I am close to betting money they won't find anything. May I ask why you think so? Cheers, Badeskov

Because "at the beginning I created the Earth the sky and the sea"? And you created beer! Not sure what came first, though Cheers, Badeskov

Once discovered, will its image start appearing on Wal-mart tickets, towels and in the clouds?

Once discovered, will its image start appearing on Wal-mart tickets, towels and in the clouds? You forgot toasts and pancakes. :devil:

if it can explain gravity, then i'll be satisfied.

if it can explain gravity, then i'll be satisfied. It won't. The Higgs field is the generator of mass. We would still need to find evidence of the graviton to explain gravity.

It's just a matter of time till it's discovered.
