Allaše dragi, izgleda da baš moram na našem. Ovdje ona metafora o vjerniku kao golubu, koji se hladno pokaki, obori sve pijune na tablici i odleprša sa osmjehom, ima naročitog smisla.
Reuters wrote:“We don’t call it the ‘God particle’, it’s just the media that do that,” a senior U.S. scientist politely told an interviewer on a major European radio station on Tuesday.
“Well, I am from the media and I’m going to continue calling it that,” said the journalist - and continued to do so.
Dakle, termin "božja čestica" za Higgsov bozon ne koriste naučnici, pogotovo ne oni iz CERN-a, nego senzacionalistički mediji... Hence i tvoj Google search.
Reuters wrote:According to people who have investigated the subject, the term originated with a 1993 history of particle physics by U.S. Nobel prize winner Leon M Lederman.
The book was titled: “The God Particle: If the Universe is the Answer, What is the Question?”
Physicists say Lederman, who over the years has been the target of much opprobrium from his scientific colleagues, tells friends he wanted to call the book “The Goddamned Particle” to reflect frustration at the failure to find it.
But, according to that account, his publisher rejected the epithet - possibly because of its potential to upset a strongly religious U.S. public - and convinced Lederman to accept the alternative he proposed.
Druga stvar, taj isti termin, kojeg jedino mediji obilato koriste, nije nastao iz razloga što naučnici smatraju da je bog ili neko drugo nadnaravno biće, iniciralo nastanak iste ili je imalo bilo kakvog učešća u tome. Znam, žao mi je. Zapravo, radi se o tome, da je jedan Nobelovac u naslovu svoje knjige česticu htio osloviti sa "the goddamn particle", što u prijevodu na naš znači vražja ili prokleta čestica, jer ju je bilo tako teško pronaći. No, uredništvo izdavačke kuće, skrenulo mu je pažnju da bi takav naziv mogao biti neprimjeren za izrazito religiozno američko tržište, pa je došlo do cenzure i skraćivanja naziva (iz "goddamn particle" u "god particle"). Opet, boga ni na vidiku.
Nadam se da je jasnije (čisto sumnjam)...
