I thought that it was supposed to have the opposite effect?  I'm interested in the answer as well.  -------- Original message -------- From: M Wilson <astro_outwest@yahoo.com> Date: To: Utah astronomy blog <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Higgs-Boson Disproves the Big Bang Theory I was in a conversation with two others last night when the subject of the "God Particle" [Higgs-Boson]  came up.   Both were in unanimous agreement that its discovery blew-to-bits the Big Bang Theory.   I questioned that supposition, as I haven't read any articles that made such a claim.   Does anyone on this list know how these two came to that conclustion? _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
