Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY are linked AND BALANCED IN AND OUT of SPACE AND TIME, as this is CLEARLY proven by time DILATION, F=ma, AND E=mc2.

That’s the real reason for the word God in the title!

I think the Higgs field will explain a lot about Dark Energy and Dark Matter and that we dont know a lot about "other" field interactions. As Sean said we can explain a lot about what we can see - this is really only a very small part.

[@tedtolentino4955]

In thinking about this lecture which I appreciate very much, having a very minimal understanding of physics, I have often wondered if we humans will ever achieve a complete understanding (meaning finding the most fundamental "elements" of nature). Given that we have only five senses (or six, if you are willing to stretch the definition of senses) and need machines to interpret (e.g. a collider and computers) what nature is willing to give up in our discoveries, could we ever find those answers to human's need to "know"?

I am so glad someone finally gave proper credit to Democritus. Everyone else tries to say "Democritus was wrong" when it was really the chemists who got it wrong. Thanks for that. Also, the particle physicists are also wrong. There's something deeper. "Particles are fluctuations in a field" is wrong. (But we won't get into that here.)

[@darishesed7772]

Very informative! This is an amazing discovery, now we know that the quantum mechanics have always been present since ancient times. Names will always change. According to cultural and political changes. Meaning may change but the essence of true intellect is there. Scientists are never satisfied even while sometimes having solid theories, until they have concrete evidence.... I was shook at $9B. Makes me think of our priorities. Even if technology gets better is it really worth all these resources? Curiosity killed the cat. That’s the saying isn’t it? As curious as we are we also have intelligence to know our limits and discern progress vs consequences. I’m sure there are far more sustainable ways to implement these advancements. But i guess in the end I have to admit we will always follow our desire for knowledge. Even if sometimes I wish compassion came first, I guess knowledge helps understanding between humans as we can finally grasp things as a whole. As understanding comes together peace can be closer to our reality.

Amazing to be able to hear the exact process that took place directly from Peter Higgs. What a video!

[@JungleJargon]

OK so the Higgs is unexplained as to where it comes from. So it gives matter it’s mass and that is what pulls time and distance “down” into quantifiable measurable amounts. Time is pulled down from everything being instantaneous and slows it down so physical things can take place. Likewise, distance that is infinite was pulled down into being measurable and limited amounts “where” life can take place. So we now have limited time and distance where the chemistry, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics can be ordered into being three dimensional living organisms. Do you want to discover where all of this power, order and written instruction is coming from? I can tell you that it is not from a physical source.

Just as the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, the JWST will also satisfy man's curiosity in so many ways.... but perhaps more importantly, it will give us even greater pictures than the Hubble and the many amazing earth based telescopes..... and in doing so it will bring us to our knees in worship of the God that created this universe.
