"None of these are fundamental. They all share common characteristics with one another, merely differing by mass, charge and spin. They all have both particle and wave properties. In a way, the difference between them is like that between a Leyland lorry, a Ford motorcar and a Morris Mini.

God is not a particle. The Higgs boson was called the "God Particle" by those involved with it, because that was better sounding than what it was originally called, namely, "That Goddamned Particle"."

I think I've pointed out before that I use the term 'energy' loosley but stressed it is not smply a blind force like electricity. It is the fundamental force behind creation. It is the source of intelligence.
