You forwarded a web article claiming that the Higgs Boson is the dancing Nataraja. Though i was taking note of the news reports on the matter for a long time since the reports came a few years back. But upto now I did not look at the net. After 6th July I was searching the net and found a number of portals claimed a religious significance to the discovery. They were mostly hindu and christian sites. I did not see any from islam. One claimed that 'god particle' was extensively dealt in our ancient scriptures like upanishads etc. where the Paramatma is mentioned. Now science is providing proof of it after thousands of years. This is the most silly idea I found there. When I opened the net there was the long article in Wikipedia. Though Wikipedia is not as scholarly as Encyclopedia Britannica or the US counterpart; it carried a short history of the developments upto 6th July. Good and informative. It did explain as to how the name 'god particle' came into it. It was a fancy name giver by a science journalist in his book. No scientist connected with research has used any such name. In fact they detest such misleading names given. the Higgs Boson is a sub atomic particle and material in every sense and connect it to anything spiritual is to be termed as cheating the people in the name of religion. Hindu Paramatma could not be perceived. If someone claim it the same cannot be verified by any other person. In the case of Higgs Boson it was perceived by all the scientists gathered there uniformly. God is not like that. People like Deepak & Co has appropriated the god in themselves and never subject the claim to verified by another. This much for the time being.
Yours Appa.
