Showing Original Post only (View all)Tell Me Again Why Higgs Boson is Earth Shattering? [View all]
wondering if this should be in the pseudo science thread?
this "particle" which BTW, the announcement was that a "Higgs-like" particle was discovered, not the "actual"
Higgs particle.. this particle is observable for one-billionth of a second.
????
Interesting take:
GIVE it a few decades and scientists will admit that Higgs Boson is not fundamental after all. Eventually they will realize that Higgs-Boson doesnt give matter its mass. Mass is the effect of motion. Densification is an effect not a cause. Therefore this is not a God particle. The Higgs-Boson particle is just another effect of motion. It is not the cause of anything any more than any other particle is. Quantum physics is a theory that seems correct because it predicts effects. But it is wrong because it treats effects (particles) as causes.
Only pre-physical motion is fundamental. What ancient cultures called forces or urges in motion are the cause of all matter.
Since Democritus misunderstanding of the Ancient Egyption concept of Atum, western thinkers and scientist have been stuck on the notion of particles.
Quantum physics is nothing but an contemporary form of ancient Greek atomism. As such it provides the a psuedo-scientific underpinning to a political structure based on materialism. It is widely used to give scientific cover to the agenda of materialism. Materialism and Quantum physics are two sides of the same socio/scientific coin. The scientist have to say they have found the God particle to justify the role they are paid to play, in the system of scientific materialism. All they have found is something a bit smaller than what was known about before. Woohoo !

What 4lbs said, plus it may or may not open the door to supersymmetry models.

The blog comment you've posted goes on to say that the physical world is the product of conciousness

Give it up. Just the notion of something named "Higgs Bosun" is cool. Don't poop on the party.

"Idealism" works well in the rectory or university study; "materialism" works better elsewhere

LOL-- I love it when mystical nitwits try to claim science just hasn't "caught up" to them.

Maybe they're looking for an even more fundamental and hard to detect particle.

I suppose a few "I don't understand this therefore it's wrong" posts were inevitable.. (nt)
