In classical physics, every atom has something perceived as "substance" - the perception of solidity due to the way atoms react to one another.

In quantum physics, it's understood that atoms never, ever touch one another. In fact, energy is so vastly tiny that, except under extreme circumstances (singularities, or black holes, for instance), packets of energy never interact with one another directly. Interactions are conducted by things called "force carriers", like photons.

The nature of how particles interact to appear as "solid" brought forth mathematical equations in quantum mechanics that specify a particle or force carrier that causes atoms to behave in this manner.

In reference to how the universe appears to have been created for a purpose (whether to explore itself or otherwise), the particle, predicted in 1964, was dubbed the "God particle", and was also termed the "Higgs boson" or "Higgs particle". It is theorized to be involved in every atomic interaction, but has yet to be found or proven to exist.

At the moment, massive experiments like the LHC use the collision of particles to cause extreme amounts of energy to be ejected. Particles formed by these collisions are measured - or rather, the results of the collisions are measured. Then the measurements are compared with the math predicting the existences of particles.

Is there any matter called 'GOD'?

The hypothetical particle called the Higgs boson is also known as the "god particle", pressumably because of its important role.


What element is God?

There is no such thing as a "god element", if you believe in God than you believe he created all things so all elements are God's. However, the media are calling the "Higgs Boson" (the new particle that they think they have found in the CERN experiment), the "god particle" because if there it would be this particle that gives matter mass.


Where will the God Particle be found?

The god particle or the higgs bosom will be fund within Gravity's Magnetism fields...magetism is part of gravity in a smaller scale- yet as anti-matter also known as dark energy is part responsible for the appearance of expansion of the universes' matter -- so is dark energy anti-matter part of magnetism and gravity. the god particle field is within magnetism's gravity there you'll find also dark energy or anti-matter... as well as the binding power of the higgs bosom particle.

What is the name for the particle theory?

The particle theory is called the "particle model" or "particle theory of matter." It proposes that all matter is composed of tiny particles that are in constant motion.


Who coined the word God Particle?

The term "God Particle" was popularized by physicist Leon Lederman in his book "The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?" However, Lederman originally wanted to refer to the Higgs boson as the "Goddamn Particle" due to its elusive nature, but the publisher suggested "God Particle" for marketing reasons.
