The Hadron collider that smashes microscopic particles together to replicate ‘the Big Bang’ has shown new and interesting results.

The Laboratory located near Geneva, spreads over 27 kilometres up to 175 metres below the surface costing over $4.8b to create.

Researchers are hoping to find the illusive ‘God particle’ also known as the Higgs boson particle which many believe is responsible for creating planets and stars.

The collider accelerates sub atomic particles around a 27 kilometre ring smashing them in to one another at speeds never seen before.

“We are looking somewhere completely new where the human race has never studied physics  before” said Professor John Butterworth.

With researchers from the United States ahead of the pack in the pursuit for the ‘God particle’ the European competitors are quickly catching up.

I"m so very sad" that religeon" has to always slow us down in our quest to understand the universe" religeon should be like santa" as soon as your old enough to understand life you shouldn,t believe in some god or anybody else thats above us" why should we always want to place somthing that cannot be seen heard felt smelled touched" above us? is it really because we are this Ignorant? that because we are assholes" we need someone higher to save us? please why don,t people grow up"!!

Seems to be a lot of head banging going on from the people with the biggest heads. Could have done a lot of good towards the starving of the world with over 4 billion dollars, that would have produced a big bang, but of corse out of nothing comes nothing unless it is created????.amen

Either way, God will be left out

You can bet your bottom dollar that they wont come back with an answer pointing towards a divine bio-chemist as the most plausible answer. They want you to believe that everything came from nothing after all.
