A Wasted Journey

Why are we spending £millions on looking for the Higgs Boson when there is a much simpler explanation?

Probably because anybody who is anybody in this area of science thinks this theory (at the link you give), is nonsense. They could be wrong, but my money is on them being right and so is almost everybody else's, i.e. the millions you mention in your post.

I could spend all day knocking holes in this

Strange how he doesnn't want to talk about massless particles like gluons eh? or show the exact relationship between mass and volume and how it fits the data for all the known particles - neutrino must be a bit of a headache too.

But you have to feel a bit sorry for him - he's got about 20 websites publishing this stuff and is probably winding himself up as to how he's being ignored by the establishment.

Coming down to Earth though - there is very limited evidence for the Higgs Boson - it is quite possible that it doesn't exist.

But that would be good too.

There once was a belief in something called phlogiston http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlogiston_theory which was liberated when things burnt.

To cut a long story short this held up science for hundreds of years until Priestly and especially Lavoisier showed it was wrong and Oxygen existed.

Showing the Higgs is wrong would be equally usefull

I just don't think we'd be slapping our foreheads and saying Jacky Jerome was right all the time!

The problem is "how do you prove a negative'. They could still be looking for the Higgs 20 years from now and so that they still receive funding say the discovery is just around the corner.

He did say there a were a few areas that need extra investigation but in his case it may be easier to prove that negative.

I think I missed something at higgs-boson.org, So it is volume that distorts space time? but we know that gravity is related to mass or is mass really volume in diguise, then how is volume defined or measured bearing in mind that matter is full of 'empty' space. Anyway the Higgs boson doesn't exist yet as it hasn't yet been found. It will be very good value when it is as mankind has spent billions of dollars and lives on god but so far zilch.
