The All Things GOD thread....

Nothing. And it doesn't pretend to do that (well, for life anyway, it will help us understand the origins of the Universe). And nor are scientists doing all this to try and disprove the existence of God. The article explains the background to how it got dubbed the God particle and how scientists feel that's not helpful. Blame the media for that.

Well so far they are well behind justifying the billions already spent on the project and that is before they blow another 20 billion euros on a much bigger beast of a collider which may or may not go ahead over the next decade.

This is a section from THIS GUARDIAN ARTICLE which confirms all I have said about this project:-

"But since the discovery of the Higgs boson, the collider has not revealed any significant new physics that might shed light on some of the deepest mysteries of the universe, such as the nature of dark matter or dark energy, why matter dominates over antimatter, and whether reality is permeated with hidden extra dimensions.

Cern drew up plans for the next machine, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), in 2019. The €20bn (£17bn) machine would have a 91km circumference and aim to smash subatomic particles together at a maximum energy of 100 teraelectronvolts (TeV). The Large Hadron Collider achieves maximum energies of 14TeV.

The proposal has its critics, however. Sir David King, the UK’s former government chief scientific adviser, told the BBC that spending billions on the machine would be “reckless” when the world was facing such grave threats from the climate crisis."
