ETHER: Leptons, Baryons, & Quarks (Oh, My!)

[Graybeard]

will the "God particle" ever be discovered I wonder?

And if enough thought is given to it,will it suddenly appear as if by magic?

No ..... first it has to be theorised .... and then a machine built to test the theory ... in this case the LHC

Thanks mate for illuminating that point,From what I gathered it had already been theorised,(the God particle) if so will the LHC reveal it?

regards michael.

The LHC is capable of reaching the energy level required to detect it. The smaller the object we are examining the higher the energy level required ... as a heuristic. The LHC has more than enough energy to reach the theorised limit of the Higgs particle.

If it is not found within the theorised limits then it does not exist and a new theory will have to replace it ... the most likely is SUSY.

The W+, W- and Z0 particles were even more 'way-out' predictions that were required by the same theory .... The equation custom made these three messengers ... and crazy at it may seem, then they were found.

Critics will always say that they 'found' what they 'set out to find'. But this is not the case ... especially for the Z0 .... which requires 'neutral' currents. They are non-conceptual by the mind, pure math constructs only.

No one thought of these until the requirements of the theory demanded them. They were found where the theory said they would be.

I find it interresting that smashing larger particles results in smaller particles that have discrete values in mass or energy. I can't help thinking that there are only two basic particles in the universe and they may be an average of speeds and mass. The two particles would have a + or - charge and togethere make all the known particles. The particles would have a spin as they move through space and their spins and charges can cancel. All energy is in a stringed aether and particles are just identities from a vibrating aether such as a wave.
