Danae: Hey, I haven't seen lars around lately. Jeffrey: Um...he's kinda mad at me right now. Danae: Why? Jeffrey: Well...he told me the key to finding the higgs boson particle and... Danae: The what particle? Jeffrey: Higgs Boson...AKA,"The god particle". Anyway, I sorta let it slip to some scientists, and now they've discovered it...but I don't know why it made him so upset... Danae: Wait......There's a particle that'll make me into a god?! Jeffrey: Ok. Now I get it...

And the Church of Danae takes flight and all religions now bow down to her as the Danae Inquisition starts.

Scientists call it the Higgs boson.Only the sensationalist press calls it the God particle.

My favorite church these days is the First Church of Polydeism on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/FirstChurchOfPolydeism/photos/pb.431870143557121.-2207520000.1472106852./1059049574172505/?type=3&theater You have to laugh at their marquee messages.

After the discovery Higgs agreed to be interviewed on the condition that the phrase “god particle” would not appear in the article.

The Particle Accelerator reminds me about the Kush Maker..( a dog too long and shaggy to take for a walk here )

So Jeffrey’s 60 years old? Higgs’ paper which predicted the existence of the particle was published in 1962. (I know— he’s got a time machine.)

When thee is a ‘Miss Understanding" we find Danae. No wonder Jeffrey’s friend Lars is mad at him. Maybe Jeffrey could explain to her. . . Or should he? Explains why Lars had not come around. Those ETs way out there must wonder about some of the mess that goes on here on Earth. How would they deal with a little girl with universal assumptions?

Bosons are a class of particles that were named after Satyendra Nath Bose. Bose is known for developing a theory on how particles may occupy a set of available discrete energy states, at thermodynamic equilibrium. Albert Einstein collaborated with Bose to develop what is know as the Bose-Einstein statistics of quantum statistics..I guess you could say that that made Einstein his Boson-mate.

in truth it is “the god damned particle”. that apparently didn’t stick but seems applicable here.

another of Einstein’s ideas was proven recently, the gravitational wave. I saw it in shashdot.org

A Higgs boson walks into a Catholic church on a Sunday. The priest says, “Sorry, we don’t let subatomic particles in here.” The boson says, “But without me, how can you have Mass?”

Funny, she does not strike me as a lepton in need of mass.

LL is reknowned for hs sense of humor, the car which drove backwards only, telling press that the bison at Fermi Labs were irradiated mice, joking about a novel use for the NYC subway system, etc.
