The ‘God Particle’: ‘Tantalising Hints’ Of Higgs Boson Seen By CERN Physicists

The Higgs boson — a subatomic particle so important to the understanding of space, time and matter, say physicists searching for it, that it took on the portentous nickname of “the God particle.”

Scientists at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research in the Alps, say today that while they have not found it for sure, they think they have seen good signs of it.
Joe Incandela, a top CERN physicist, has described the data from one of the two main experiments done there as being “right at the boundary of where you might get a vague hint of something.”

Higgs Boson Rocks!!! Looks like M-theory is on it's way out. M-theory is so messy, it never could compare to Higgs Boson.

Still 10 years away at best,but they're on the right track.

Scientists USED to wait until they had FACTS. Now, we get statements like, we are "right at the boundary" (not there yet, though) where you "might" get a "vague" "hint" of "something". WTF??? I "almost" saw an alien one time, and I keep looking and "feel" like I'm "on the verge" of "maybe" seeing another one, although it "could be" a "ghost". Scientists (which I highly respect), ridicule religion because it relies on faith. And no "proof" of anything. Yet they expect people to "believe" that all the matter IN THE UNIVERSE (thats a LOT of matter my friends) came from a tiny TINY dot, so small as to be invisible to the naked eye. And all the life (and there is a LOT of different life, my friends) came from some chemicals that somehow managed to arrange themselves into something alive, and then DUPLICATE itself. And turn into millions of totally differnt things. And they ridicule FAITH??? LOL!
