What Are Bosons?

RE: What Are Bosons?
I wouldn't call it cherry picking, but yes, we interpret nature through the lens of our theories, and while the phenomena are often described very accurately (in the case of electrodynamics, to 10 digits precision), the *explanations* extracted from theory are not on the same secure footing. Furthermore, taking the maths and the mathematical objects of the theory and trying to express them in ordinary English is something else again.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
