With its nickname of the "God Particle," the Higgs boson particle has certainly become quite the controversial discovery. It is supposedly responsible for all the mass in the universe, and for many this brings the excitement of finally learning more about our world. But an issue surrounds it's "sexier" nickname of the god particle. Many physicists dislike the term "God particle", though many agree that it is quite an accurate name for such an important discovery. I argue that just because something has the word "God" in it doesn't mean that it has anything to do with religion.
