Need Info from Alex About the Higgs Boson
June 6, 2017 at 3:47 pm
In the sequel to Queen of the Quantum Realm, I want to dramatize a boson whom I will name Higgy. But I just want to make sure that won't be a trademark violation. Is the name Higgs registered as a trademark?
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.

No, certainly not, it's just Peter Higgs' last name. You can email him and ask him whether he minds, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to any more than if you used any other scientific term.

ooh there's gonna be a sequel? I loved most of the first part, though the blind beggar was a bit of a letdown... Please let me know when you are done with the sequel...

Please let me know when you are done with the sequel... I'm so glad you liked it. The sequel doesn't have a title yet, but I hope to publish in mid 2018 (if the universe is willing and the creeks don't rise).

Higgs is an atheist, or so I have read, even though WLC likes to quote from him.

Yeah, Higgs is an atheist. WLC loves to quote scientists' work but then substitute in his own conclusion.

WLC is a liar and manipulator. He has zero concern for truth or intellectual honesty.
