morning chuckle

i laughed out loud this morning as i read an article online...i am into quantum/physics as an armchair onlooker of all these discoveries and near discoveries and oops we were off by this much take backs of discoveries...

this morning the article was on the search of the "illusive god particle" or the Higgs bosin...

ok so i am not going to get technical on myself or you but it is a yet found puzzle piece that is the(maybe) AH-HA moment for those intrepid hunters of "bossie" as i call the god particle...

see this ginormous collider underground crashes protons together going super dooper speed and when these protons fly into bits and pieces ever so small (and by small i mean you cant even imagine how small small can be in this universe of smallness in a proton)...so anyway they break up into particles and each particle has a role in creating mass which creates matter...the matter that makes up everything...so bossie is what gives the other masses their mass it is thought...hence the "god particle"...

and here is where the laughter comes...i imagine there is no mass creating mass...that bossie is nonexistent in any physical realm and this will blow the physicists minds...that every particle in all the universe is simply there being held into the structures and patterns of the physical world by....drum roll...nothingness...

that everything is interlocked and simply keeps it all together not flying apart into countless particles...that would be cool and trippy...and i would laugh even more...not out of making fun of the billions of dollars and endless hours and mind-time used to find nothing...but i laugh at the joy of it...to know that the unseen mystery remains unseen even if the mystery is solved...
