But the W bosons e.g. causing beta decay are what is called virtual W bosons which do not have to carry all the energy that would usually come with its assigned mass via E=mc^2.
2. The name God particle is stupid because the name in no way adequately represents what the particle does, but primordial soup is ok I think.
3. The higgs boson would be absorbed by the gauge boson and vanish, but that only ç if it is a massive gauge boson.
Thanks Alex. I dearly appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions. This is so cinematic and could be easily turned into a subplot.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
