Higgs boson particle

Well, no. I got the idea from various ideas on the Higgs Boson from 5-10 years ago because I am outdated.

I then read that it was 133, apparently, not 122. So I edited my post to include that just in case.

I do not believe I do. But I will ask if I have something come up.

Your both really close minded. I could care less weather that offends you, you should of some decency! Their is just a lack of respect in your posts.

Put one in for good measure.

Higs boson was derived from the name of an British and an Indian scientist.

Or from the physicist named Peter Higgs who predicted the existence of the Higgs boson. Alsom what a random comment, did anyone question the name earlier?

Peter Higgs is a British scientist. Doctor Bose, after whom the bosons are named, was from India.

So, what you are trying to say is, basically, that manikunis was completely right, yes?

Did I say that? Point to where I said that.

Grr! blarg!

RAGEQUIT 😠

I heard this particle proved God.

Not really.

*Bump*

Evidence of God's existence disproves him.
The Higgs Boson is made of God.
Thus we found God.
Thus God does not exist.

This is exactly the sort of whack-a-doo-doo logic that William Lane Craig applies in all of his debates with atheist scholars. Someone needs to use this sort of reasoning against him the next time he debates.

Thanks for sharing this post.

not sure if bot or nitwit

its a bot

Not sure if nitwit, or naive.

Curiouser and curiouser.

While I'm not a particle physicist I wouldn't like data with 95% CIs that overlap either.

Could be nothing.

I remember all those out-of-left-field surprise discoveries when we first sent robot probes to the outer planets and their moons. More questions than answers. Science is cool like that.

"Heinemann said the four lepton channel has only analyzed about 10 Higgs bosons and the two photon channel about 500 Higgs."

That would do it. However, so far more data has only shrunk the margins of error.

It is weird, by the way, to see physicists working with 95% CIs (and 68% CIs) when their equipment lets them collect enough data to have 99% on certain things. I guess these signals appear very rarely.
