the god particle:

if the universe is the answer, what is the question?

:)

this is my attempt at taking part in the world's celebration of the discovery of the higgs boson.

The God Particle was a book published in 1993 that discoursed on the subject of particle physics. in the book, the authors referred to the higgs boson as "the god particle" because of its central role in the understanding of modern physics. it was contemplated that it be called "the goddamn particle" instead, according to the authors of the book, because the particle was so expensive to uncover and so elusive, but the publisher had objected.

Thus, the alternative title should have been: The Goddamn Particle: If the universe is the answer, what is the question?
