Comment Alright I just can't take it anymore (Score 1, Insightful) 457

Despite the fact that I'll have mine soon, I like to think that you don't actually need a physics degree to be able to discern between pure rubbish and actual fact. The name "god-particle" has been utterly abused and misused here and in many casual discussions of particle physics and the LHC. "God particle" is a real misnomer, and the existence of the particle (it's the higgs boson) has nothing to do with theology. We've conjectured that there's a particle which is responsible for conferring the property of mass on matter, it's called the higgs boson and we're trying to find it. That's it!
