God Particle

I had no idea or just a random thought that a particle could have created so much. The only thing I really understood was the bit about electrons, neutrons, protons and about the all the dead scientists: Rutherford and Bohr. ( which was all new to me this year) Otherwise there were a lot of big scientific words that I have never heard of or know. For example I have heard of apparatus, but if you asked what it meant I would say, " Something Greek", and Quarks and Gluons, No Idea.

Where we came from is a weird topic, because in the short run it is a waste of time, what done is done. But some people believe that if we know where we came from the information and questions all around us will be answered in sort of chain- reaction. For me I agree with Madeline, we have more important things at the moment. It is kind of like my view on global warming, but even global warming is higher on the list. I say let the French figure it out, they are already farther in the nuclear energy area, let them figure it out while we play catch up, and when they get how everything works steal it or learn it. It is a lot easier to learn something that has already been found out or taught to you then trying to reinvent the wheel.

I would put money on that it does exist, but it will be rejected by the people of the world. But once we need it for whatever reason or have the time and money it will be in our day to day lives as important as these next presidential elections. Frankly, I don't think it is time to learn or explore about it, now is not the time. If it most be done, best not to let people now where all their tax money is going.

You Rob and I basically understood the same things. I think it's kinda cool how we are researching about this stuff because it could possibly lead to new technological advances but i sorts agree with you that we shouldn't really be trying to just catch up. Maybe we should just try and help them out or something. But then again maybe they have a bad machine that will never work so perhaps we should make our own. I guess it sorta depends on if people are willing to spend money on all this stuff.

I don't think the God particle even exists. So, if it doesn't exist, why would we ever waste our money looking for things that aren't even there when we could be spending our money on something profitable, like the future of America through our schools. I think that holding back on this research, which I think will turn out to be fruitless, would be a smart idea.

I agree with sember when he said that we should send people to help out. We don't exactly have to build any accelerators here in America. We could send our best scientists over to France and have them help out.

David is the reason you thing it doesn't exist is becuase it contradicts creationism
