What Would God Think of the God Particle? (Part 2)

By Deepak Chopra, M.D., FACP and Menas Kafatos, Ph.D., Fletcher Jones Endowed Professor in Computational Physics, Chapman University

 

The “God particle” seems to be well and truly with us. The award on October 3 of the Nobel Prize in physics that focused on the Higgs boson – the technical term for the God particle – capped a decades-long search that has cost billions of dollars. In the first post we discussed why the discovery of the elusive, fleeting Higgs boson is two-edged. It represents a triumph in human curiosity and our drive to understand the universe. At the same time, however, a huge stumbling block hasn’t been overcome. In fact, the Higgs boson may indicate that creation (whether God exists or not) is becoming ever more mysterious.

SCIENCE AND NONDUALITY CONFENCE 2013

October 23-27, 2013, San Jose, CA

 Where Science and Spirituality Converge!

This exploration is grounded in cutting-edge science and consistent with the ancient wisdom of nonduality – the deep understanding of the interconnectedness of life. The conference is a journey, an exploration of the nature of consciousness.
