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

Goodness me, the universe is a busy place. All those particles and forces dancing around separately and together, and popping in and out of existence. The breathtaking beauty and brilliance of it brings tears to my eyes. It also gets me thinking about gravitons, which I previously proposed was another name for 'gravity-energy bubbles.' The inference from the Standard Model is that each force has an associated force-mediating or carrier particle. Together, the matter particles, the fermions, and the force-mediating particles, the Bosons, need to be 'in relationship' in order for the different generations of sub-atomic, and subsequently, atomic particles, to occur. The Higgs Boson, being that which gives mass to the fundamental particles to 'manufacture' matter. This suggests to me, that in the short, post-Big Bang epoch, the massless fundamental particles, both fermions and Bosons, and the Higgs Boson, must have been either supplied to the newly forming universe and/or created. It is my contention that the force-carriers, the Bosons, were supplied to the evolving universe from the Trinity, whereas matter evolved from the energy which was supplied to the evolving universe from the Trinity. The timeline, as I see it, so far. 1. Big Bang = Creative Spirit + Mind + energy-bubbles originating in the Trinity. 2. Short, post Big Bang epoch = Creative Spirit + Mind + energy-bubbles (energy) + gravity-energy bubbles (gravity) + Higgs Bosons + other Bosons. 3. Post Big-Bang (Universe/foundational realm-building phase) = Creative Spirit + Mind + energy-bubbles (energy) + gravity-energy bubbles (gravity) + Higgs Bosons + other Bosons + fermions, now appearing due to the presence of the Higgs Boson and the contextualisation/creative activity of Creative Spirit on energy. Phase 3 constitutes the beginning of the material realm, summarised by parts of Genesis and which scientists have been so adept at observing, recognising, describing and putting to use in the service of humanity, whereas Phases 1 and 2 belong to that phase of universe-building summarised by the early parts of Genesis. The role of Creative Spirit in the building of the foundational/classical realm. Complexity Theory, which I have previously referred to, is of vital importance in the evolution of the universe. Indeed, I believe it is the scientific theory which best describes the activity of Creative Spirit that we have so far. In the presence of Creative Spirit, another name for which is the 'Original Pattern of Creation,' 'energy-bubbles' or energy can evolve into gravity-energy bubbles' or gravity. Recall the image of the Venn diagram with three, intersecting circles. One circle constitutes the initial conditions while the other constitutes the observer. The third circle constitutes the outcome of the creation. Contextualisation has taken place. The presence of energy-bubbles in the newly evolving universe constitutes the initial conditions while the presence of Creative Spirit constitutes the observer. The observer, in the case of the Creator has an agenda. In the case of a scientific experiment, there would be an experimental aim. The result will reflect an unpredictable outcome that is more complex that the sum of its parts. In other words, it will be a new creation. This is what the Creator does and how He does it. Once gravity has been created, the function of the Higgs Boson becomes pronounced since it can accord mass to the energy-bubbles. This happens in much the same way as the creation of gravity. Matter begins to evolve in the presence of Creative Spirit, the observer, and who has an agenda, and the initial conditions of energy, the Higgs Boson and gravity. Suddenly, the process is becoming more complex and detailed. As this process continues, the emergent properties of the process, which were actually intended by the Creator, become harder and harder to understand and track. To do so, one would have to go back to the beginning of the universe to understand how the process got started in the first place or have it revealed to you. This is what happened to me in 1996. However, to be frank, I did not understand until recently when I read about the Standard Particle Model that Bosons were force mediating particles. I thought they were merely sub-atomic particles. When I learnt that, I realised that they too would have been supplied to the system by the Trinity at the start along with energy and mind. I have previously described force as a relationship between entities such as a bat and ball. Such a description, which reflects the nature of complexity, could remain valid on the large scale. Whereas, at the atomic level, the relationships between energy and the Bosons may be necessary. I would love to discuss this with other interested parties to help clarify the situation. Please see scienceofspirit.blog

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"?

Years ago I read Leon Lederman's book The God Particle and still highly recommend the book. I understand why the term "God Particle" was used back in the day. But now that we know that Dr. Lederman was referring to an unknown or mysterious particle yet to be discovered, which came to be known as the Higgs boson, I think it's time to drop "The God Particle" reference. If "God" wanted mankind to know about the Higgs boson, he would have included it in the bible and saved humans billions of dollars and time. My apologies to the late and great Dr. Lederman.

[@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.

I am a quarter of the way through this vid, and I have to take the time to thank you. Your interpretation of modern physics to explain the hardscape of our existence is, at least so far in this vid, one I have been coming to for the last couple of decades, and I have been wondering whether the physics community was adopting this perspective. Seems you would agree there is no such thing as a particle, given the definition of that term in the English language. String theory seems to be a way in which we might be able to mathematically explore the fields of quarks, but they certainly seem to be continuous fields, as you have stated so far, rather than quantum strings in the physical world. Maybe it is just cuz I 'feel' as though I can grasp an existence that began with a singularity of pure energy and manifested as a bunch of tiny bundles of that energy in its various facets, but as continuous fields (need to define continuous better). Tough to grasp the dimensionality of string theory. Just wish we understood the Higgs boson better.... Curious to see where you take that....
