If the Boson Higgs Boson, only exists for a millionth, of a millionth, of a millionth, of a millionth of a millionth, of a millionth, of a millionth, of a second - or even lessera...

And all matter has mass because of it...

According to my wall clock, this means that several billion, trillion, zillion, gwillion, pillion, quillion light year parsec cubits ago - we and all eternity all flashed into existence for a mere spec of instantanity, and then it has ceased to exist.

I'd like someone to explain how something that lasts for nothing and basically doesn't exist...

Means we exist for far longer than that.

Spinning a bit smartera than that - does the Bosun Higgs Bosun only exist as a particle, in an independent form, for almost almost nothing in time, when it is actually split out of an atom or a fraction of the nucleus?

When in what it came from, ought it to exist almost forever?

I believe it is the higgs field that causes matter to have mass, not the boson itself.

The age of the universe is believed to be 13.6 billion years or so. It is unknown if we "flashed" into existence or if something else happened, as we cannot look back further than about 300,000 years after the start of the universe.

The higgs boson does not come from the nucleus of an atom, only from high energy interactions between certain particles.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
