Your Definition

A long predicted boson, comprised of three quarks (like neutrons and protons) created when two protons are smashed togethed just under the speed of light. This was finally accomplished in a particle accelerator between Switzerland and France, known as the Large Hadron Collider. Although created by two protons, the mass of the god particle is hundreds of times the mass of a proton. You are probably wondering "how is this so", seeing as though mass is neither created or destroyed. In fact, mass can be "created" by sacrificing an amount of energy given by Einsteins famous equation e=mc^2. The kinetic energy (speed) of the protons is converted into the extra mass of the god particle. The god particle's namesake comes from the fact that it supposedly gives mass to all other particles. However, I for one find this difficult to accept. After all, nothing can cause itself to exist. Such a thing would be timeless and immutable, and would therefore have no reason to interact with anything else. Quite to the contrary; it has been proven than every part of our universe interacts with every other, to the point where it is impossible to look at any one part in isolation. Instead, we must look at systems of interaction and interdependence. The fact of the matter is, how could the god particle give itself mass?
