Philosophy Wire: One particle, two particles, three... Zzzzzzz...


Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-04-27]: An internal CERN memo that "leaked" (not that the scientists of the 10 billion not-nearly-working collider do not need any advertisement...) was refering to the  possible doscovery of a new particle that could be the Higgs particle all scientists are craving for [source:  web news]. Ouaou.... Impressive... Maybe I will not sleep tonight due to my anxiety for the exceptional "discovery"... In the absense of a genious like Einstein, science has become more and more boring... No new ideas... No new models for the interpretation of the world... We have the "particles model" and we keep following it like sheep... No new theory... No new burst of genious like that of de Broige (dual nature of particles - both particles and waves) or Einstein (relativity of time and space)... In the old days theories changes like we now shange shirts... Now the new "god" is the  "particle" and we will continue to make them smash on each other until we are bored to death... And let me imagine... After the Higgs particle we will find... another particle! And then another! And another! Hmmmm.... I am feeling sleepy... One particle... Two partic.... Zzzzzzz...

Ah! Here! More! [2017-06-08]

Zzzzzzz....
