I dont think this has been posted today. But I could be wrong with using this new search function. If It is, Im sorry, I did try.
What does this story do for your beliefs? Doesnt change a thing? Makes you look at the universe and life differently? It is on the top of drudge, so HE obviously thinks this is big news... But do you? I do personally, but Ive gone down this hole before with no real results to examine when it comes to this topic. Id be really interested more in what this discovery and confirmation does for FUTURE research more than anything.
Opening a can of worms?

Exactly!
We are "pretty sure" or "we may have"..... It's getting old now. Like the little boy who cried wolf.
Did you find it or not!!?
How can they find something that cannot be directly observed?
As for what are the ramifications of this?

No he would be somewhere cultivating the land free and proud. He would look around and feel the magic in everything.
Right now he works 40+ hours per week goes home to see what kind of new inhumane way we can mistreat each other and spend worthless time on the Internet talking to someone that does not quite realize in the end, it all ends and science can do nothing about that.
All mans discoveries, accomplishments in the long run mean nothing. The material universe will recycle and all materialistic goals are futile. The spiritual side is forever, science is temporary.
Oh and please do not try and explain science to me I understand it. A good share of the population do. In the long run its just useless. Mans ego is just so damn short sighted.

even the name implies science. how you gonna do a bit of late night light speed driving without a nice hot mug of science.

I see the Higgs Boson eventually leading to advances in computer power that we could only dream of, such as quantum computing (eventually).

Imagine to be able to affect/effect the conditions of matter by manipulating the Higgs Field. I dare not go there.
Then again - what if you can turn silver into gold by affecting/effecting the Higgs Field - will greed come to the fore?
Who will control this power - if such "feat" can be done?

I totally agree with your posts. Starred everyone including this one as well. I love how you think and word your thoughts.
With that said, this post below is one I want to expand on.
Yet with ALL the knowledge, we know absolutely nothing about ourselves or the nature of Reality. Scientifically speaking of course.
Knowledge is easy to obtain but wisdom of said knowledge allows the knowledge to expand. Although with both, it appears to be nothing more than a "belief".
I see what you are saying in regards to Higgs. How can something be found which cannot be directly observed?
Science it seems is taking a leap and focusing on the invisible in this instance?

The Higgs particle was discovered in 1959 five years before Scottish physicist Peter Higgs even conceived of it. This became known in 1980 to senior Theosophists like Dr Lester Smith FRS, discoverer of vitamin B12, and other scientists, including a past president of the London Society for Psychical Research. See HERE. The particle found last year at CERN is not the true "God particle." That title was just a journalistic invention to promote a book written by Fermilab director Leon Lederman. The particle that can correctly be called the "God particle" in the sense that it embodies the 10-fold nature of God and exists everywhere is THIS.edit on 14-3-2013 by micpsi because: (no reason given)

Actually they technically found the particle back in July of 2012.
It just took them this long to claim it's confirmed apparently?
Probably one of the biggest physics discoveries since the atom.
"strongly indicates that it is a Higgs boson."
