Is that your example of how to keep on the topic?
What exactly is the God particle?

Righto, Seeker, good point. Its my thread, I say we bring this back on topic, and I reserve the right to do so. The topic is the significance of the discovery of the Higgs bosun.
This thread is NOT about whether you believe in it or not, its NOT about what you think of scientific endevour or not, and its NOT about any religious or faith based interpretation, or not. If you cannot, or do not, want to constructively participate and keep to the topic, don't post here. Hows that for on-topic?
Here's another interesting explanation on the Higgs:

That is not how any discussion, on or off forum is conducted. Just because you are the OP, doesn't make you dictator of the thread. That function is reserved to the mods and admins. I would suggest that if you dislike the manner in which I post, then do not respond to them. If this or any other topic is only for those of the same perspective, then the thread of is no value.

I think an OP has the right to put his thread back on topic.

I agree that he has the right to steer it in that direction, but are you saying that he has the right to bar any posts that he feels that are some kind of deviation, subject to only his own biases?

My purpose of the Bumble Bee was to show theory doesn't always add up. Whether it's Higgs theory or others. After almost a hundred years form the Wright brothers we spend million of dollars to prove a Bumble Bee is stronger than the rest of the bees. WHOOPY It's not about a Bumble Bee it's about man kind and theories they use when they can't really figure things out.

I think this thread should be brought back on track, so this is what I have heard about, The God particle.
Higgs boson went into a Catholic Church and the priest said to him " You're not welcome in here".
Higgs boson replied.
"What, well you can't have mass without me".

My earlier reference was from Wikipedia. I have a lot more confidence in Wikipedia articles once they get a bit of vetting. Anyway a quote...
"One of the primary goals of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland—the most powerful particle accelerator and one of the most complicated scientific instruments ever built—was to test the existence of the Higgs boson and measure its properties which would allow physicists to confirm this cornerstone of modern theory."
I think it cost ~ $8 billion not counting enormous scientific effort. This particle is a big deal and quoted by some as one of the greatest discoveries in science.

I think that the biggest deal in science, is what would do the most good for the people of the world...how do you think that mankind is going to benefit from this?This particle is a big deal and quoted by some as one of the greatest discoveries in science.
