The God Particle

The "God Particle"

About a week ago I watched a movie called the "Accountant" starring Ben Affleck as Christian Wolff, a CPA with an extraordinary mathematics ability who has a greater affinity for numbers than for people. I dare say, that's not such a foreign concept at all because personally, I prefer computers to people, since they are reliable, efficient, accurate, pleasant, perform according to expectations and among  other things, are consistent, whereas generally people are not. 


The Hadron Collider - see the size of the construction compared to size of the man in the foreground.
But allow me return to the mathematics savant Christian Wolff. Being a strong willed army sergeant, his father wouldn't accept that Christian would grow up to be a weakling. So by adulthood he had learnt extraordinary skills, which were forced upon him by his father because as a child he was different. At a young age he displayed impatience, hyperactivity, impulsivity but instead of inattention, he was focused and became irate when he couldn't complete a task. If I had to give his mental disorder a label I would call it a combined case of OCD, autism and ADHD. Though, not every child with autism spectrum disorder can be called a mathematics whiz, a study suggests that autistic kids generally show above-average math skills. 

Be that as it may, modern opinion suggests that anyone with a disability either mental or physical may be superior to people generally considered whole and sane. This is the overall impression the Accountant seem to advocate. Just because they seem lesser or inferior doesn't meaner they're not better or superior, that insane is the new sane and that sane is over rated. This sentiment is the basis of psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher's theory, played by Betty Buckley in the movie "Split". Starring James McAvoy as Kevin; a mentally deranged individual with a dissociative identity disorder, diagnosed with 23 distinct personalities, who kidnaps three girls due to the physiological prism within his single being. 

For several decades 'dissociative identity disorder' have fascinated yet eluded science and medicine. Psychiatrist believe that DID patients can manifest unique physical attributes for each personality to the point that one personality may need medication for a specific condition whereas another personality will not need it nor show symptoms of said illness. Again implying that a mental condition of split personalities is a super-sane condition and that sanity is its underling.

Stephen Hawkins, one of the most brilliant minds in the field of Physics, yet confirmed atheist.

This brings me to the  brilliant mind of confirmed Atheist, World-famous author, theoretical physicist, cosmologist, full professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge, and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology - University of Cambridge, Stephen William Hawking. Seventy five year old Steven Hawking  was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 21, and has been wheelchair bound ever since. But, as a real person, he by far exceeds the "fictional bullshit" of 'Split' and the 'Accountant' as a superior brain. 

Physicists are vigarously seeking for answers to the birth of our universe and how it relates to the Big Bang.  It is commonly assumed that most scientists are atheists and that most believe religion and science cannot co-exist, but not all scientists are atheists hence the 'warfare' between science and religion continues. Albert Einstein's wrote an essay called “Science and religion,” that was published in 1954, in which he says “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” Yet all scientists accept his theory of relativity E-Mc2 explicitly but beg to differ with him when it comes to belief in God.


This  GOD particle image so much resembles the pupil of the eye with the iris in its centre
Be that as it may, for more than a half a century physicists have been struggling to find the missing piece of the particle-physics puzzle — "Higgs boson" aka the "God Particle". Essentially the "God particle" is the sub atomic particle that gives matter mass and is the  cornerstone of  physics theory.  Peter Higgs and Francois Englert were both awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 2013, more than a year after discovering the "Higgs bason" and for theorizing about it as long ago as 1964.  They predicted it exists, based of major gaps in the "standard model" for fundamental particles matter. 

This "standard model" presents the best way of understanding particle physics regardless of the yawning gaps, amongst these gaps are gravity, and other experimental contradictions. The model also attempts to describe the forces, components and reactions of the fundamental particles that make up matter which is composed of atoms and other subatomic particles. The model predicts that there are certain elementary particles even smaller than protons and neutrons called quarks.


This ancient Mayan calender somewhat resembles the LHC


The wiring driving the electron magnets in the LHC 
The result from the recent experiments at the 27km long tunnel underground Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a  particle accelerator straddling the borders of France and Switzerland, filled the yawning gaps in the "standard model" as proof that the "God Particle" does exist.  However, there is enormous doubt among associate physicists that the "God Particle"  now discovered  is in fact  the same "Higgs bason"  found in 2012. They further who believe it may even be a techni-Higgs (a particle easily confused for the Higgs bason).  During these experiments 5 new particles were discovered. Physicists found that an atom has a nucleus, that a nucleus contains protons and neutrons, that they contain quarks in exotic multi-quark states, such as pentaquarks and tetraquarks and gluons that bind quarks together.

 In a nutshell the energy densities that are created by collisions cause ordinary matter to melt into constituent sub atomic parts —quarks and gluons. Physicists are now setting their sights on finding and seeing dark matter which is the undetectable material that constitutes 85 per cent of all matter throughout universe. It binds galaxies together yet its nature is completely unknown, purely because it belongs to the unseen. But much of what they discovered was already known to the ancients in the form of Platonic Solids,  the Egg of Life, the Aztec Calender, the Golden Ratio, etc.


The Aztec Calender  that also resembles the LHC
The beauty of all these scientific discoveries should make us acknowledge God Almighty and appreciate God’s awe-inspiring universe. Also be cognisant that none of this came together by accident but rather by His design. CERN spent $13.25 billion on finding the "God Particle" and in the process managed to find 5 more unknown particles. Meanwhile  it is estimated that in the known, observable universe, there are as few as ten quadrillion vigintillion ( 1 x 10 to the power of  79 Zeros) atoms to as much as a Googol of atoms.  

Googol  sound similar to the name of the world's largest search engine, however a Googol  is  written as 1 x 10 to the power of 100 zeros. Literally written out as follows:-  
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.  How many millions of other particles isn't there that are still unknown to Physicists The amazing thing is, they are all God's particles, because He says "... And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little"  - Surah Al-Isra [17:85]. Physicists (men of little knowledge) are willing to would spend tens of billions of dollars  just to try and prove that there is no God, even though all the evidence out there, that God exists is starring them in the faces. 

With equipment like the Hadron Collider, the Hubble Space Telescope, the ELT, the Electron Microscope, and whatever else, with which to observe both the micro and macro creations of God, why do minds the like of Steven Hawking, Peter Higgs, Richard Dawkins, Francis Sellers Collins, Lawrence Krauss, Fred Hoyle, Paul Myers, Sam Harris etc... baulk at One Incomparable God, Creator, Sustainer of the universe?  In the movies discussed above both Christian Wolff and Kevin had brilliant minds yet both were a few sandwiches short of a picnic.  Is it possible that each of these Physicists is a trotter short of of pig




Anyway, these atheist scientist who use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments with which to study and probe the fundamental structure of the universe and its constituents of matter have analogize particle physics with  Hindu mythology because its origin can be traced back to the prehistoric time around 5000-10000 BC.  As a consequence a 2-metre-tall statue of Lord Shiva performing the Tandavam or Nadanta (cosmic dance) outside CERN Geneva, where the Large Hadron Collider is housed. In Hindu Mythology Brahma is the creator, Vishnu the preserver and Shiva is the  destroyer or regenerator. 

A Brahma day and night is 8.6 billion years long  and central to Hindu tradition is the concept of mahayuga (great cycle) lasting for 4320 000 years which is divided into four cycles which will end by flood and fire. Shiva  symbolises "Shakti" or life force and  his  cosmic dance with flame in one hand destroys and the drum in the other regenerating  everything. Physicists  witnessed the birth, life and decay of atomic particles and as such use the metaphor of the cosmic dance as the icon that unifies ancient mythology, religious art and modern physics.

Then there is also much speculation of a correlation between the LHC and earthquakes,  resulting from  alteration of the butterfly effect of the  magnetic field lines of our planet by the LHC magnetic field.  CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) was also accused of attempting to  open an inter-dimensional gateway or portals for angelic and fallen spiritual beings made of "mysterious dark energy" to come into our dimension, or unlock a parallel universe,  or even discover a fifth force of nature in dark matter.
