The "God" Particle: it was just a burp, folks.

Let's just say the Super Collider was not a total waste. Some good workers got paid good wages for a long time to build it.

I agree, the Super Collider was a waste. It's a shame the US wasted 2 billion dollars on a collider before giving up on it halfway, and discovering nothing because it was never built. I guess you're right, at least it employed some people for a few years.
 
Please just admit that you were wrong and confused the speculative spin-1 particle with the Higgs boson. Your argument is incoherent and is fooling literally no one.

Because, like some others here - you simply latched on to the title!
You must be the kind who draws conclusions from just reading sensational tabloid headlines! :lol:
The title got you, though, huh? ;)


The proof is in the very first sentence of the OP!

Which was immediately proven wrong, so you shift the goal post again




So tl;dr:

You: "The Higgs wasn't discovered."

Me: "Yes, it was."

Dead Wrong.
After it's been explained and pointed out, you're still desperately (and dishonestly) trying to put words in my mouth. That's not good.



Here's my very first statement in the OP.


me:

Remember the big event announced by mainstream media when science discovered a new particle called, the God Particle?




Anyway....the title of the thread - Higgs being a burp, it still applies, FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING.

What's a burp? noisily release air from the stomach through the mouth;

Lol. Isn't that my point in the OP? Isn't that stated in the OP's first 8 words?

"Remember the big event announced by mainstream media......."​

I'm sorry, you're saying that you aren't wrong because you're retroactively amending your argument to "The Higgs Particle: it was juts a burp, folks, figuratively speaking." And this helps make you not wrong, because...? Hmm, well, I think I get it. We can just add "figuratively" to the end of everything you say, because none of it is researched and none of it holds up to scrutiny --and thus none of it is actually true, just "figuratively" true.

Well then, I guess I agree, you have "figuratively" won this debate.

No, I'm saying....... you are wrong.

You automatically latched on to the title without reading (or, understanding) what was actually being said in the OP.

Looks like it's the latter because you demonstrated it again! You didn't understand what I've just posted.
I just told you in the last post, the title can be correct too, as it is. FIGURATIVELY!

The title of the thread is misleading. The discovery of the Higgs is not simply a "burp"(a statistical anomaly). It is a factual event.

Not with my "burp" - if I use it figuratively. Read it again.

Okay, so let me get this straight. First you claim that the Higgs wasn't discovered, but you meant it "figuratively" wasn't discovered? So that's why you turned around, declared that it wasn't discovered, then you started claiming that particles beyond it weren't discovered, and then claimed that nothing interesting beyond it was discovered? Because original you meant "figuratively" discovered.

Cool story, bro.


So if I may ask, what does it mean for something to be "figuratively a blurp"?

All his claims were total nonsense, as usual.
