HpS/ASA - Hare Rama, Prof. Hayagriva avatara Das!


From wikipedia

Lederman explains in the book why he gave the Higgs boson the nickname "The God Particle":

This boson is so central to the state of physics today, so crucial to our final understanding of the structure of matter, yet so elusive, that I have given it a nickname: the God Particle. Why God Particle? Two reasons. One, the publisher wouldn't let us call it the Goddamn Particle, though that might be a more appropriate title, given its villainous nature and the expense it is causing. And two, there is a connection, of sorts, to another book, a much older one...

HpS - Yes!!! Thank you. AgtSP. We are dying. Even now our eyes are hurting typing.

😃 We also read some time ago that Lederman did not like the name.

Prabhupada says that because they are impersonalists they look for God in the biggest, super nova, or the smallest, sub atomic particles.
