A Sense of Human Pride
Today I’m feeling good, awash with a sense of pride in humankind. Why? Because scientists have officially announced the Higgs boson particle discovery, it really is a great moment for both science and mankind.
It’s taken 111 nations working together, 10,000 scientists and ten years to reach this historic moment and within the very near future we’ll have logical clear scientific explanations as to how the universe was created.
There won’t be any folklore or mystical rhetoric, no gods, no theory – there will just be rational explained answers based on empirical study and observation.
Today I’m proud to be a human being and know what we are capable of when we go looking for it beyond the ramblings of ignorant old men of long ago that would have intellectual minds fettered if they still could.
They announced the discovery of a boson. Is it the higgs? Kinda makes you feel a bit happy and a biy sad for the other colliders.
Although the involved scientists are reluctant to call it a discovery, it is indeed an historic time.
It is pretty cool!
