The God Particle and the death of Atomic Theory

The discovery of the Higs Boson or the (misnamed) God particle as the culmination of 40 year search has been well covered in the general press. It completes the latest model of matter and lends a sense of closure.

The Nobel Laureate and great teacher Richard Feynman held the Atomic Theory as the “ultimate learning “of Science.

“If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis that

All things are made of atoms-little particles that that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another.

In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.”

We argue that the atomic theory of matter is dead. There are already three layers of the ultimate indivisible particles to explain matter

1. chemical atoms and molecules
2. the subatomic electrons and protons
3. the nuclear quarks and leptons and bosons.

We explore the utility of these models and an alternate way of looking at models of matter covering infinite recursion, singularity and hetrarchy vedic philosophy and movie like the Matrix reloaded.
