Higgs Boson comfirmation leaked from CERN.

Why not?

Is the spirit a chemical reactionary path of life? Mathematics and science supports that possibility. No one has ever returned from the dead to prove a broken chemical path is false. Absolutely nothing has proved otherwise.

Lets train-wreck the whole thread and take the physics question and apply philosophy. If physics could prove it was a singularity that arose from nothing, is it really a singularity and did it actually arise at all?

They can't prove it was a singularity and physics breaks down when you get to the singularity anyway. They know nothing of the extremely early universe and nothing about a hypothetical singularity. If they can't get to a singularity they certainly can't say anything about where it came from and where that was. Brane theory doesn't include a singularity to explain what we observe today.

btw, there is a 5 sigma level assurance that it *IS* in fact the Higgs Boson. Or 233 in 1,000,000 chance it's assured that it is the Higgs Boson.

That is kind of messy. So, in layman's terms. The change in it *NOT* being the Higgs Boson is 1 in about 4,292.

Of course. In full truth. 2 + 2 does NOT in fact equal 4! :laugh2:

There is only a 1 in a million chance what they are seeing is an statistical anomaly. They are relatively certain it is the Higg's but they won't know absolutely until they can ascertain its properties. It does have the right mass. Man we live in an amazing time.

Pretty much has nothing to do with that particular topic.

This Higgs is directly related to religion, there's no sense in denying it.

After all, without the Higgs, neither Catholics nor Lutherans could ever have Mass.

How original!

It's not like I haven't read that joke (and 20 million different variations thereof) on my Facebook newsfeed since the discovery. :
