'God Particle' Mystery to be Solved by 2012

London, May 18 (IANS) The existence of the 'God particle' or 'Higgs Boson', named after the great Bengali physicist Satyendranath Bose, is expected to be resolved by the end of next year, scientists said Wednesday.

The Higgs boson is theoretically responsible for mass, without which there would be no gravity and no universe or anything measurable that exists on earth and elsewhere. Research for the God particle is going on in Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27-km circular tunnel 100 metres below the French-Swiss border near Geneva.

Prof Rolf-Dieter Heuer, director general of Cern, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, which coordinates the LHC project, said he had now 'officially' told the team to 'go into discovery mode'.

Cern scientists have predicted that within two years they will either find the Higgs Boson or show conclusively that it does not exist, according to the Daily Mail.

Dubbed the 'Big Bang machine', the LHC was built at a cost of around 2.6 billion pounds to recreate conditions a fraction of a second after the birth of the universe.

The machine, weighing more than 38,000 tonnes, accelerates streams of protons - the 'hearts' of atoms - close to the speed of light and smashes them into each other at unprecedented energies.

    Can Higgs boson explain momentum, inertia and moment of inertia? Can it explain gyroscopic effects? Can it explain dark matter? No. The folks at LHC have now set themselves a deadline. But can there be a deadline in such matters? Only, if you already have some knowledge of something? May be, they know that the fundamental functioning of gravity has already been understood? So, they are now working on an exit plan after the USPTO screened my application for two months under secrecy review. Quite probable that LHC got a whiff of what was brewing at the USPTO. To put the matters straight, the actual discovery of gravity's exact mechanism along with that of dark matter has already taken place, way back in autumn 2010. I know from my theoretical understanding that it is impossible to find any traces of Higgs boson as a quantum particle in the Hadron collider, neither can it show the existence of dark matter. Some details of my discovery of how gravitation exactly works are on http://www.anadish.com/ details of how it is produced in the framework of quantum mechanics has been disclosed to the US Patent Office and is to be published by them as a filed patent application. I consciously did not report to any peer-reviewed journal, fearing discrimination, because of my non-institutional status as a researcher. I had filed the US patent application (US 13/045,558) on March 11, 2011, after filing a mandatory Indian patent application on January 11, 2011.
