If physicists have found the ?God particle,? does it lessen the need to find God? This was basically the question an anthropology professor friend of mine posed after news broke Wednesday that evidence of the elusive particle, also known as the Higgs boson, apparently has turned up in experiments at the renowned European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. As someone for whom high school physics was one big misunderstanding, I?m not qualified to adequately explain what a Higgs boson is.
