Funny. That's what people probably thought when Magellan tried to travel further than what was usually traveled in his time. Because you know. Back then. People were content in thinking that there are only 4 corners of the world and they think ships falls off at the edge. You can never have enough knowledge because eventually, you will benefit from it.

Thank you for the smart, short and simple enough explanation.

That didn't explain its importance at all ... it just showed what it is

It doesn't mean god doesn't exist. God doesn't exist anyway, this just further proves god doesn't exist you may say.

Fair enough but in the scientific community the term "God Particle" is extremely frowned upon. I'm not part of the scientific community but do follow their work closely and agree that the term has been abused by the main stream media and the religious.

This particle has absolutely NOTHING to do with religion whatsoever. The term "God Particle" was mistakenly made by a scientist who has regretted ever since. It's a long story but it's actually quite interesting.

Take it easy.

Did you seriously put a hashtag in a youtube comment?

The project money would have been better spent on the needy, after all they are the god particle.

How does it mean God doesn't exist? The bible simply stated God created everything and that would include the Higgs Boson if it says everything. I'm just confused on this particle thing here lol if you deem me wrong explain to me how it does state the fact there is no God please.
