The 'God' Percent

The Earth and You and Me, and all The Stars that We Can See ...

Shouldn't really be here, at all. At least not based on cosmological theories, which postulate there are equal amounts of matter and anti-matter and that each should cancel each other out, giving rise to a sum of exactly zero - nothingness. Or perhaps better phrased, 'not somethingness'.

But wait, We are Here, and so are the Earth and all those stars. Billions and Billions of stars, swirling in perhaps more billions of galaxies. And every bit of all that is matter, presumably.

So, what gives?

Well, some of that matter than shouldn't be here, in the form of particle physicists working with the Tevatron accelerator at the Fermi Lab here in the good old USA (take THAT, Large Hadron Collider), believe they have discovered the reason matter wins out.

Apparently, over the years particle collisions created during their experiments with the Tevatron have resulted in about one percent more matter than anti-matter being created. Pretty trivial sounding to those of us without beautiful minds, but perhaps enough to explain why we are all here to ponder these points.

Of course, these results will now be up for debate, and there's no telling how that debate will end. But, for the time being at least, it looks as if we may all be here due to a slight error in the balance of the universe. Which goes a long way towards explaining Hannity.

You know the old saying, 'The Devil is in the details'?

Could it be also true that, 'God is in the one percent?'

That's what I'd call a miracle ...
