No offense here, just irritation. The reason I hate the HB being referred to as a god particle is this - by definition, a 'god' or, deity, is deemed as something that is above and beyond all comprehension. Omnipotent. Out of our reach, if you will.

Science, by definition, is an ongoing quest to learn about things, and to keep learning and pushing, refusing to accept that something is 'out of your reach', knowledge-wise.

So by referring to a scientific breakthrough in a deity term is, IMHO, a bit of an oxymoron, and insulting to scientists.

I do, however, understand why the media latched onto it, because the average person can't comprehend something from nothing, without slapping that 'deity' title on it. Cater to the masses....

I find the word douchebags extremely offensive. I also find NY to be offensive. Hippies are irritating as well.

I find you to be a douchbag plenty of good and bad people every where, NYC has a lot more people then any where else so were also going to have more douchbags then any where else to.

It must be so, I read it on the internet especially the all knowing en wiki.. talk about an illusion of knowledge:puke:
Why don't you show us some REAL knowledge, by tell us where Stephen Harkin made that quote???

You were the one who brandish a lot of "illusion of knowledge" by attributing the quote to Stephen Harkins in the first place.

So, unless you can back it up with some real knowledge of the context he made that quote, you've just proved you are the ignorant one who were impressed by some "illusion of knowledge" you glimps on the internet as I had pointed out.

You didnt believe a scientist would say something like that but what about a theoretical physicist.
Real knowledge LOL isnt that an oximoron
So YOU think a theorectical physicist WOULD say something like that? Tell us where and under what context!!!

NO what you have here are 10-20 city dwelling internet ski heroes and a tight little group of perpetually offended snowboarders who invade ski country on the weekends and lather each other up here during the week. The posts and conversations are as stale as they get.
Actually you are one of the worst.. you took another post I made completely out of context and jumped on my shit...your idea of chill and open minded is being offended by words and towing the line for imaginary freinds? Try these words and see if you find them offensive.. FUCK OFF BRA!
