"Scientists believe they have captured the elusive "God particle" that gives matter mass and holds the physical fabric of the universe together."

If it is physical then that means that it can be opened or stretched right? So what happens if we actually tear apart these particles, what lies behind space? More space? Alternate realities? Different dimensions?

Will this open up any possibilities for wormholes or time travel if they exist?

Higgs himself is an atheist. But nothing explains why he is not Professor Sir Peter Higgs, instead of just Professor. If captains of industry get knighted, together with assorted pop singers and actors, why is he not a Sir?

Fred, could it be that captains of industry and pop stars generate tax income very quickly but those pesky physicists spend money for years then some foreigner make all the profit from their discoveries.
