Although often referred to as an atom-smasher, the collider won't actually smash atoms but rather protons—relatively large bits that make up the nucleus of an atom. By shattering protons into shards of barely-matter so infinitesimally small and nearly devoid of mass, scientists hope to generate the postulated Higgs boson, the missing link that spawned something from nothing—matter from galactic goo—in the earliest instants of the Big Bang. Indeed, the cosmic progenitor of Everything. What does this mean for evolutionists? Creationists? I notice throughout this articles and others on the subject many references to "almost" nothing and "nearly" light-speed. Comments? I can't wait to find out what they discover.
