Physics and Physicists: Tommaso Dorigo's "False Claims In Particle Physics"
Tommaso Dorigo's "False Claims In Particle Physics"
Hey, you should read this blog post by Tommaso Dorigo. It touches upon many of the myths regarding particle physics, especially the hype surrounding the name "god particle", as if that means something.
I've touched upon some of the issues he brought up. I think many of us who are active online and deal with the media and the public tend to see and observe the same thing, the same mistakes, and misinformation that are being put in print. One can only hope that by repeatedly pointing out such myths and why they are wrong, the message will slowly seep into the public consciousness.
I just wish it is seeping through faster.
