GENEVA — To cheers and standing ovations from scientists, the world’s biggest atom smasher claimed the discovery of a new subatomic particle Wednesday, calling it “consistent” with the long-sought Higgs boson — popularly known as the “God particle” — that helps explain what gives all matter in the universe size and shape.
“We have now found the missing cornerstone of particle physics,” Rolf Heuer, director of the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN), told scientists.
Freemasonry suggests that its students should explore the “hidden mysteries of nature and science”. The discovery of the potential Higgs boson is probably the most important example of coming closer to understanding those mysteries and our own relationship with the Great Architect and source of all.
