Creation theory may be wrong; collider hasn't found 'God particle' | Deseret News On August 22, CERN scientists announced that, in the energy ranges they have searched (145 to 466 billion electron volts) "the Higgs boson is excluded as a possibility with a 95 percent probability," Scientific American reported. Kaku explained the importance of the God particle this way in a radio interview, "If we don't find the Higgs boson we are in deep trouble. We are in deep doo-doo. The reason is that the subatomic particles in the Standard Model are the basis, the foundation of everything we know about the Big Bang, everything we know about the universe, cosmic rays (and) black holes. So if that theory is wrong, then we are really in trouble. It means we have to throw out what is called the Standard Model — and even string theory would be in danger because string theory also has a Higgs boson. Steve Hawking, my colleague, said, "Well, if we don't find the Higgs boson things would be very interesting.' No. It will be a disaster if we don't find Higgs boson, because basically the entire edifice of modern physics depends upon it." Modern technology is great.

Hello Friends, I know I have been away for a while and haven't been too active on these forums. In fact, as I just now came back to visit, I realized everything was different. I was aware that the forums and site were changing, but when I checked today, I was amazed at all the new faces and features. I feel so alienated now. So here is my tabula rasa on these forums. My name is Orrin Jelo (not really, but you get the idea) from Utah. I am going to Utah Valley University, studying physics, although I am a professional bum. I am good with computers--familiar with many aspects including hardware, Linux, Windows, 3d modeling, audio editing, programming in C/C++, graphics, and much more. (In fact, if you want me to build a computer for you, feel free to contact me!) I am learning guitar. I like to read and write--I've got about 100 pages of a rough draft of a novel sitting on my hard drive (someday I will get to work on finishing it). I am a sci-fi fan. I watch Lost, Fringe, Battlestar Galactica, Sanctuary, Heroes...that kind of stuff (also some anime like FMA and Serial Experiments Lain). I am a fan of U2, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Styx, Matchbox 20, and more. As that is all I can think of without posting something like my entire curriculum vitae, I think I will stop and explore the site a bit more. I'm feeling lost. Oh yeah, I just recently turned 24 and and very much single. I must be ugly or have a very repulsive personality.* ------------------------ * Just kidding. Except on the 24 and single.
