On the latest news, CERN, an “non-profit” organization guiding the largest particles accelerator in the world know as the LHC, released news that they had found the so called God-Particle.
As a side note, the God-Particle is the name given by a physicist but amongst scientists it is known as the Higgs Bosson.This is a particle that was proposed about 40 years to explain how the universe “suddenly” had matter. It is thought of as a particle, but it is actually a “field.”
But this in theory, are great news for scientists. Scientists are not yet sure if the Higgs Bosson actually exists, but the data they have collected corroborates what they think is the Higgs Bosson; if it isn’t, well, these are even better news!
But now, what are other implications of this “newly” discovered particle. How is this going to affect the average person and should we worry about these news? In my own opinion, I think these news is only going to affect the highly educated people—for now—. Imagine the sci-fi ideas that this new discovery spurs, like creating matter out of “nothing.”
