Quote: "*Face-palm*
1) The LHC isn't colliding atoms to test for the Higgs particle, in fact atoms are not involved at all in the collision process itself.
2) The concept of a "hole" in an atom is completely meaningless, since atoms are just an arrangement of other particles, and also are almost 100% empty space anyway.
3) A joke is just that... a joke, ie. not meant to be taken seriously.
At 5 sigma, the LHC proves that there is a 99.996% chance of a particle existing with that energy level. Do you really believe it's just a coincidence that there exists a new particle with the energy level well within the bounds predicted by the theory, that has nothing to do with that same theory? And even if it was a coincidence, you still have to call the new particle something, (may as well be the Higgs particle) so either way, they will still have found it..."
Yeah, but all of your quote is taken from the same theory. That atoms contain empty space is the same theory that predicts the Higgs Boson.

If you don't stick with the Standard Model, then an atom is almost filled with other particles, the electrons are holes, and Mass is Gravity filling those holes.
So you change this....
F = G(mass1*mass2)/D squared.
to this...
F = G(-mass1*-mass2)/D squared.
Which gives exactly the same result, but with holes instead of mass.
So now a Neutrino is a hole passing through mass.. the reverse.
So the facepalm is all based on what you have been told by the standard model.
