Shadowy Opposites and The Higgs-Boson


The Higgs-Boson,or the 'God Particle' according to scientists, is the sub-atomic particle which explains why all other particles have mass.

Finally...an explanation for why you're fat..

The search for the 'God particle' as part of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment near Geneva goes on...the ultimate aim is to shed light on why the world around us is composed of normal matter and not its shadowy opposite: anti-matter (says a BBC news report).

Much as I'm fond of British English, doesn't this make the world sound somewhat dark, and lend it something of a sinister plot? This should also finally explain why the world is 'ruled' by forces of the underworld and not their 'shadowy' opposites...

The report ends by saying that scientists now expect that there are multiple (upto five) Higgs-Boson particles..just like there are scores of 'Gods'..
One hopes that all the Gods, particles and God particles are unified someday, in their explanation of things of the mind, matter and beyond..
