So what do you guys think? I am with Hawking they never will find the Briggs particle. I think lots of people are going to be stubborn about it and persist, but still I think a new set of physics will be up for study sometime in the future.

edit

wow what a brain fart. yes I was arguing with the kids at the time I wrote BRIGGS LOL

I think you need to get your brain adjusted. Try "Hawking" and "Higgs particle" for a start.
 
I am the parent that always messes their friends and kids names up, or out of the blue just combines three words of the English language. Yeah sorry I am a bit scatterbrained I tried to write BE HIGGS and probably answering a kids question with an R word when I typed that. If you were raising three youngins by yourself your head might need checked too lol.

But thanks for noticing, if you can overlook my typing skills I'll overlook your warm personality deal?
 
I'm happy to agree that I'm sceptical about the Higgs. I have my own theory as to what gives particles mass, but it's too speculative to post here.
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.
The formal paper is here. The Rutgers University news has published a story about an image being closely examined at their New Brunswick campus. Here is an excerpt: Computer modeling of the gravitational lens by Keeton and Eid showed that the four visible foreground galaxies causing the gravitational bending couldn’t explain the details of the five-image pattern. Only with the addition of a large, invisible mass, in this case, a dark matter halo, could the model match the observations...
Hi, I’m pretty new to cosmology and I’m trying to get my head around the Big Bang and the potential infinite extent of the universe as a whole. There’s lots of misleading info out there but this forum and a few others have helped me and I just wanted to check I have the right idea. The Big Bang was the creation of space and time. At this instant t=0 space was infinite in size but the scale factor was zero. I’m picturing it (hopefully correctly) like an excel spreadsheet with infinite...
