'God particle' does not believe in God

13-12-11


THE particle named after God last night stressed it was not religious in any way.




Boson admitted he was responsible for the paint, the brushes, the artist and the ceiling




Higgs Boson, a 14 billion year-old particle from the absolute centre of the universe, used its first fleeting contact with humanity to reject the notion of an omnipotent space wizard.

Mr Boson said: "I only have a trillionth of a second to say this so I want to be crystal clear - I am not a God-botherer.

"I'm not saying for a fact that God does not exist, but as everything you can see, smell, hear, touch or experience in any conceivable way is, to all intents and purposes, based on me, I can tell you that 'God' was not responsible for what I like to think of as my essential 'mojo'.

"If God exists then, given that I'm pretty much everywhere all the time, there's a fairly reasonable chance I would have bumped into him by now. But so far, it's just me and the particles to which I give 'mass'.

"And I know that 'mass' is ironic given all those Popes who existed because of me and who then burned people at the stake for suggesting that I am not the work of Satan.

"Me and some other particles you have not even begun to imagine laugh about 'mass' all the time. It's funnier than a cat falling off the back of a sofa in a hilarious universe that without me would have been a never-ending void that's not even dark because there'd be no such thing as darkness."

Mr Boson added: "The only relationship I have with Satan is via any of the atoms that humans use to express the idea of Satan.

"That's not to say I don't go to church. If you're the thing that makes everything in the universe exist then you can't really avoid it.

"But rest assured, I sit at the back, read a Richard Dawkins book and giggle about how clever he thinks he is."
