Comment 4 by Quetzalcoatlus
As with many things in this life the god particle is a misquote...Leon Max Lederman apparently wanted to call it 'That god-damned particle' cos it was rather elusive.
Peter Higgs was probably not best pleased...he is an atheist.
As I understand it it might require a revamp but it is early days and physicists seem somewhat divided by superstring anyway...not all but some.
IF there are particles that travel faster then light. That has not been confirmed...it rather looks like a calibration error...but time will tell!
Not yet!...seems Albert is as near to dammit with his explanations not withstanding a few tweaks along the way!
