The 40-year hunt for the holy grail of physics ââ;¬" the elusive "God particle" that is supposed to give matter its mass ââ;¬" is almost over, according to the leading scientist who first came up with the theory.

    Strange that an atheist would refer to his particle using the adjective "God".

    If he doesn't believe in the existence of God then is he also saying his particle doesn't exist?

      I think it's one of those paradoxes, like saying, "Thank God I'm an atheist".

        Einstein used the word 'God' on occasion, usually in reference to something 'ultimate'. The search is for a particle that may unify theoretical physics. 'God' in this sense designates something really, really important.

        In short, if scientists find the 'God' particle, it doesn't mean God exists. Sorry.
