SillyBilly Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Still to be 100% confirmed but it looks like the elusive "God particle" has been discovered. The UK contributed £500 million to CERN for the Hadron Collider. Do you think it was a good use of approx £7.50 per Brit to discover it? The implications of this discovery is beyond huge.

PrivateDerby Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Does it matter? Only joking, what can they do with it and what could the implications be? Are they gonna start making 'things'? What does David Icke say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost the use of my right hand (off work) for several months, typing with the index finger on my left hand takes me a long time- nowt else to do though! I had been meaning to post at the time.

What does David Icke say? You're entitled to ask the first question and its still to be answered. Who knew what would come after the discovery of the atom? We'll just have to wait and see but I'm glad Europe is the pioneer, the race to stay ahead in the world IMO, will be settled in the laboratory, I'm sure of it.

SillyBilly Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thought it was a new signing? What are the implications? Time travel? Re. Time travel, not really something I know much about. Last year some high profile research team in Hong Kong satisfied most that conventional time travel is impossible. i.e accelerating matter faster than the speed of light and thus arriving before leaving. Its always really been more scientific curiosity really, Einstein's famous E= mc^2 would be violated and that is pretty much the basis of modern science. Spacetime ebbs and flows across the universe so there is still a "cheats" way of time travel; tunnelling through a wormhole. Fold a piece of paper in half which simulates how spacetime may distort (particularly near a black hole), light has to travel from one end across the fold to the other to complete its journey, there is nothing within the laws of science to prevent one bridging the gap between the two folds and taking a short cut and thus beating light. Hawking thinks it to be possible so I wouldn't rule it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thought it was a new signing? What are the implications? Time travel? Thay have no idea what the implications could be at the moment. Finding the Higgs boson proves the existence of the Higgs Field, a force which provides fundamental particles - the building blocks of the Universe - with their mass. Without mass they would simply zip around the cosmos at the speed of light and never form into stars and planets. It is also the last missing cornerstone of the Standard Model of Physics, which explains what the Universe is composed of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing our luck we'd fall through a black hole and land back in the august 2007 just days after the signing of Claude Davis 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Apparently if you mix 2 of these particles together you get Jake Buxton as the outcome. God particle itis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Higgs Boson! I've kept referring to it as Bradman Hicks, no wonder I've been getting some funny looks! Perhaps I'd better stop using contractions.
