Champagne corks are poppin' as the Slide Rulers of the ("Known") Universe move into self-congratulatory mayhem. Yes, the secrets of the universe have been revealed through the so-called "God Particle" . . . in the flash of a sub-atomic protein molecule, the secrets of the "Big Bang's" ignition switch have been laid bare, the fig leaf covering creation flappin' like a 3 inch wonder tool for all to gaze upon in both wonder and . . . and . . . well and something.

What that something might be is still to be argued about for a while as the mad scientists try vainly (and yes, I spelled that correctly) to count the angels on the head of the cosmic pin.

I find it interesting that this happened within days of the square of Pluto and Uranus ("what was hidden will be revealed") but certainly such an odd causal link, based on a known pseudo-science like astrology, can't be uttered in the same breath with this LIFE_CHANGING discovery by these giant intellects . . . 

Religion be damned; now we "know" . . . of course, the line of thinking that this particle somehow ignited the cosmic dust (which, pray tell, originated where, exactly??) into the giant hail storm we call the galaxy goes . . . where ??? But, as any six year old might ask -- who, exactly, created the Higgs-Boson particle in the first place ??

and how did it randomly find its way toward whatever it happened to "ignite" . . . but the query of a six year old will fall on deaf ears for a while as the scientists ponder their good fortune.

Still, consciousness (which, by the way, is the tool used by the scientists to craft their lovely "theories" and add and subtract the sub-atomic ingredients of this new, cosmic stew) is thrown to the curb and (to my mind) the only people able to actually transcend the limits of time in a way that is fully quantifiable, yes PSYCHICS -- are thrown under the bus once more . . . 

A tiny particle (a needle in a golden 10 Billion dollar Swiss-Miss haystack overseen by a sea of hyper-zealous Ph.D.'s) has solved it all. God is dead; ding dong the nails are pounding.

But, just between you and me, I feel they are going down a (forgive the pun) "black hole" !! God is not so easily reduced to a microscopic protein !! 

If we were playing "Name that Tune" it didn't take more than about 3 notes to realize the first time I heard Amy Winehouse sing that she was an out of this world once in a lifetime singer . . . no one quite like her. It has been almost a year since her death (July, 2011) and Ms. Amy is very much in my thoughts this evening.

I "see" her . . . she is waiting, soon, to be re-born, a beautiful mixed race girl in the eastern part of England who, 20 years out, will take the world (once again) by storm. She is about to come back . . . I know it is true.

For those of you who, like me, dance to the cosmic rhythm you may very well feel the chills, too, when you think about this because you, too, may realize it is, in fact . . . the truth.
