the fun thing about reading books beyond my background is to find unintelligible explanation such as one about 'virtual particles', which 'has' following properties
1. It Doesn't exist for ever,
2. It can not 'survive' in the real world
3. Nonetheless, it can briefly come into existence, 'have' further interaction, them must disappear (!)
It surely puts a nice twist on the idea of 'reality'..

Love the chapter 'Religion, Utility, and All That...':
The Higgs boson is important, but it has a very well defined role. In a monotheistic universem it would be an overstatement to single out the Higgs boson as a deity. Maybe in patheistic universe, we could have many god particles..

there is zen poetry in physics: ...one of the beautiful aspects of the Higgs mechanism is that it tells us about the 'richness of empty space'..

Without a physics bg, I guess one need to consult many other sources to digest this amazing discovery, whose elements are beyond our common sense. e.g: it turns out that there can never be an 'empty space'. Within empty space there are always at least two non matter: dark energy (the energy it contains) and higgs field, the mass giver of all matter, which 'takes a nonzero value but remains uniformly spread everywhere

paraphrasing Rumi: out beyond the higgs field, there is a space, I'll se you there.. :D
