A militant INDEPENDENT democratic socialist's attempt to expose the truth of our culture – in all its rich irony and absurdity.

Nobel-winning physicist Peter Higgs dies "peacefully in his home" | DW News
Now we still curious about science people breathlessly await the " COMING of God-Particle II ". The prayer of the high priests of the Church of the Big Bang : " Oh, Almighty God Particle , please let us, hopelessly devoted to YOU , particle physicists - always in need of BILLIONS of dollars of government money for bigger and bigger atom smashers - please let us not lived in vain. "
Is there a justified comparison here between our public celebrity scientists and ubiquitous on You Tube science " explainers " and the charlatan , waving hands in the air ,TV and Mega-Church evangelical preachers ? In both cases " MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING-NESS " !
Neil De Grasse Tyson ( who publicly ridiculed both Christ and Catholic Holy Communion ) teams up with the Rev. Joel Osteen for an on the road ticket sell-out show. The Great Debate .
Peter Higgs himself seems to be an old school , modest physicist . RIP. But unlike Albert Einstein, no respectable scientist ( in need of government funding ) will dare talk about the " God of Spinoza " today , never mind the God of Thomas Aquinas ( his " Summa " or Saint Augustine, his " City of God ".
But finally through science we homo sapiens ( no joke ) have arrived at the " MEANING OF IT ALL " : divine quantum foam NOTHINGNESS before the infinitude of TIME and SPACE . If they can only bottle it and sell it as a beauty bath body lotion - a true Elixer of Life !
