Quote:
Dr. Nielson said of the theory, “Well, one could even almost say that we have a model for God.” It is their guess, he went on, “that He rather hates Higgs particles, and attempts to avoid them.”


Nielson hates Higgs particles and so he's looking to blame someone for the failures of the machine. God's always a handy Whipping Boy. Egocentric one might say. If we can't do it there must be a supernatural force in our super brainiac way? It's a machine, not a contest with Zeus.
