The latest and greatest science news is centering around the discovery(?) of the Higg's Boson by CERN back in 2013. What does all of this mean. I have some thoughts on the subject, especially in the area of Copenhagen (did Woody really say he's advocating the Copenhagen interpretation? bhahaha) and Schrodinger lines of reasoning and philosophy. For example the quantum mechanical implications of choice and how consciousness can and does affect quantum phenominon. Here is what another sage said about the "God Particle". Enjoy... Hawking's Predictions and Warnings

A lot of you might be dimly aware of some of my other "activities", of which my thought regarding the future of the human race in space are just one aspect. A lot of strange things happened in my labs at the old Stanford Systems.
My love of quantum mechanics helped me cope with my natural dislike of rocketry and propulsion. I just happen to be good at the whole rocketry thing...high IQ and all of that. However it provided a blind, a cover, for some of my more arcane studies into reality and the standard model. lol However this might be news to a lot of you as well. It has had a really bad effect on sustaining a serious business presence over the years, and I do apologize for this.
However, it might help my fellow genius's (a lot of them associated or participants in the original X Prize) think about something other than propulsion if we have kind of a side discussion on QM, relativity and the Higg's particle. I always knew that we needed another outlet for our creativity and brain power than just business in the area of private aerospace.
If you want to hear some of my views on exotic physics, and especially its intersection with that of consciousness itself; I'd love to talk about it. Provides a relief from some of the strains of dealing with guidance, sensor/actuation studies and manned rocket science in general.
Thoughts?

Here is a good synopsys of some of the things I want to talk about, the big unsolved issues in today's QM and TOE research. Top Problems in Physics These Days
Let's call this the scope of our discussions in this area, of how the Higg's field and particle are a natural focus of any discussion on the future of the Standard Model. Nothing is too far out there, with the proviso that you need to be able to defend or even prove your respective positions.

As always I can feel your minds and hearts yearning for more knowledge. Just what has Stanford discovered in this area. Well...let's put it this way, there is a reason why I've been silent for quite a number of years. Been working on a big project, a thought experiment if you will. My predictions regarding the Higg's discussion: 1) that the Higg's will be found to be a conceptual and literal "gateway" to the remainder of what we can know about reality and its relationship to Life abstractly. 2) that it will provide the elusive answer to the origins of physical Universe and the origin of the singularity that spawned space, time and matter. 3) that it will reveal the mystery of why we can't see farther into the Standard Model, that it disappears into a barely-navigatable fog of metaphysics. 4) that the sxistance and nature of God can, and already has been, reduced to an equation. Bold claims I know, but that's why people follow my work...I never say anything unless I can substantiate my assertions. Why? My detractors are too good at keeping me honest.

"Woody, woody, woody...here you go, ruining your scientific attainment with some New Age mumbo-jumbo." I hear all of you thinking.
Has it occured to you that I have merely given names that have significance to me to the scientific things I have discovered? In my research into the wave nature of the Standard Model, looking not at particles as hard lumps but as collections of standing waves, I have given names to them from the Hindu Dharma, similar to how we call our rockets Titans, Saturns and Mercury. Does this automatically mean that we are devotees of Tartarus and Roman mythology? Not really.
But I'm continuing this thought experiment taking it where I am being lead, that is all.
However I was not the one calling the Higg's particle the "God Particle" initially. I suppose I must be submitting to Prof. Higg's warning to not submit to the spectacular.
Let me tell you all a story (and I never tell stories without a reason...I'm subtle that way). When I was in Arizona's mental health system, I met a young woman named Tea but there was something about her. We got on a discussion about our respective mental illnesses (and I intend on sharing with you certain aspects of my schizo-afective disorder in the future) and she told me that it was a symptom of her diagnosis that when ever she thought of God, she would become sexually aroused. That instead of feeling usual feeling of love and reverence, that her connection with the Creator was sexually based.
I'm a man of faith and my first reaction was to lash out angrily at her, but then I realized that she was only being honest and I told myself "That poor thing, how mentally ill she must be to have her brain wired that way." However, years later I had an epiphany, that she was giving me a message back through time, one that when I remembered, helped me immensely in the now I was in. She remembered me in her past but my future.
Has it occured to anyone yet that the reason why we can call the Higg's particle the God particle is because its literally that...a gateway to God..musing?
"There you go again...submitting to the spectacular...this is merely a fad phenominon..."
Actually, its not.
Another story, there was a group that identified themselves as "Pliedian" a few years back that were afraid that the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) would generate small black holes that would consume the world. The CERN guys and gals remember this stumbling block for their business and scientific ventures a few years ago. They even checked out their physics and assumptions a bit privately to be comfortable about bringing the LHC into existance.
And of course we have Hawkings with his "The end is near" sign out in front insinuating that the Higg's could spell disaster for mankind. Perhaps he too is submitting to spectacularism?
The discovery of the Higg's has lead to a similar phenominon amoung the CERN teams that happened to that group of fearful laypeople, where they contemplate the anxiety, panic attacks, hallucinations, voices and fears that many of them sense dimly from time to time and realize that they can't explain away that they are the supersticious ramblings of the common folk.
A story. But one to set a tone of a discussion that actually has meat to it, instead of various physisists taking about (lightly mocking) "God" all the time.
The LHC opeing black holes..consider the largest one ever, the singularity that resulted in the Big Bang. What if we found out that the human race is much more important they they ever imagined in that they had a hand in whatever happened "before" cosmic inflation? I'd call that opening a "black hole".
Worry not about me going into a "New Age" tailspin on this one, ladies and gentlemen. I intend to cover some material but (and this might be the most disturbing claim of all) I will NOT be mixing my science with religion...at least not more so than some of our "born-again" physisists.

But I'll lay off of the mumbo-jumbo for a bit and get you with some really neat thought experiments.
My first one:
If protons are made of quarks, and there are three quarks, does this mean that protons are slightly triangular? Think about it as a particle as a standing wave of matter, not the idealistic spherical mathematical model?
My second one:
Given that the size of the "observable universe" is 93 billion light years, but the time the universe has been in existence is only 14 billion years, what does this mean? Physicists attribute it to "inflation" but what exactly is this from a dimensional viewpoint. If we can see the light, it means that it has traversed the space over time. If we consider the maximum velocity that something real can traverse space as c, then does it not follow that the spacial dimensions themselves are literally expanding, that even space (which we look at as mathematically perfect) can be created (stretched, inflated???).
Does it not follow that dimension has a similar root as matter or energy in that there can be more of it...less of it in the past? Think about a light wave traversing it at constant speed c. And if this is so, what lies outside of it?

Let us contemplate the Big Bang, or rather the origin of matter and life on our planet. Where did it come from?
The current conventional wisdom is that it was a singularity that contained all the matter that we now see through all our telescopes...galaxies, solar systems, stars. Now I don't have the original theorists in front of me to ask them their thought processes that lead to this assumption, but I can infer that their process was linear. Matter can neither be created or destroyed, so it makes sense that if all matter is speeding away from some central location that it would have all been in one place at one time. Makes sense.
However our most advanced theories about gravity, mass and the nature of black holes is that they just sit there in space.
Somewhat similar to a child approaching a science teacher and saying “Hey, water has hydrogen and oxygen in it right? We should be able to extract it and have a never-ending power source” to which the teach points out mildly how water is actually the ash of H and O. Such are black holes...they are the ashes of other processes.
However we are aware of “evaporation”. Was the Big Bang an evaporative process? Based on how its been explained, there is much difference between evaporation and the Big Bangy-ness of the original creation.
And why can we not conceive of what happened before the Big Bang? A lot of my theories delve into the relationship of consciousness and physical reality...Schrodinger's Cat being reminiscent of perhaps early thought experiments into the relationship of subject and observer. What if there is no fundamental separation? That what if the all objects are also subjects? While I am not a fan of the Copenhagen interpretation, my skepticism is forced by proof into the light of understanding.
We are aware of particles that have what we would call in everyday conversations “exotic”. For example, neutrinos have the ability of going through planet made of molten iron without interaction. We are not usually aware of material with such properties. Light beams can be deflected with the thinnest planes of aluminum, yet neutrinos can pass through solid planets. Wow!
What if there are particle-like constructs ( and I am reminded of a brilliant article in Scientific American about the possibility of macro-particles) that have properties even more bizarre than this? What if there are real entities that have as a property the ability to traverse space, or even time, in a similar fashion as to how neutrinos traverse solid matter?
Let us stop our discussion here as there is enough information here as I've presented a lot of the basis for what I will be presenting next.
Topics to cover:
(1) Is the Universe holographic? What is “holographic”? How could the physical Universe have this property?
(2) Possible origins of the original singularity that include assumptions of material with exotic properties.
(3) The Higg's particle as a mediating agent to the formation of all matter from exotic macro-particles, via the mechanism of "complex mass".

Here is the first release of the unedited VERTEX paper: A copenhagen-schrodinger interpretation of the standard modelThis paper presents an internally-consistant theory as to the origins of the physical Universe, with insights into the role consciousness and Life may have played in it. What I was doing at the old Stanford Systems when I wasn't working. Try skimming it if you have a hard time reading it. A bunch of New Age mumbo jumbo in it, but makes an interesting read.
