→Why is it called the God particle?
How did the term "God particle" get connected to the particle, and why would we bother to perpetuate that connection? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 17:14, 20 July 2012 (EDT)

:Apparently scientists claim the particle is "powerful" and "everywhere", which we know are attributes of God. Funnily enough, the scientist who hypothesized its existence is an atheist and doesn't like the name.

::Actually, as far as I know, it was referred to as the "God Particle" because of its elusive, mysterious nature. Moreover, when scientists want to get the general public interested in their work, a name like "Higgs boson" is far less eye-catching than "God particle".--[[User:Guitarsniper|Guitarsniper]] 21:31, 20 July 2012 (EDT)

Please, relax. It's called the "God" particle because it gives mass to all things, allowing things to be here. It's not intended to offend anyone, and in fact, is a creation of God himself, as all things are. c:
