We do it with "Our issues" all the time.
Need to get over such small issues and look forward.
Shalom!

Re: [mukto-mona] Why talk about Higgs alone for God's particle, why not talk about Bose as well
Few articles I read had both mentioned. However if they talk about Higgs more, it is part of our nature and no need to overreact.
-----Original Message-----
The following pieces have been taken (rearranged at my own choice) from the news item forwarded by Jiten Roy. It is no substitute for the original. My intention was to grasp the spirit of the article.
Bose had little direct involvement in theorizing the Higgs boson itself. Higgs, the English physicist, and others (I think Salam was included among them---Subimal) proposed the Higgs boson's existence in 1964 to explain what might give shape and size to all matter.
The annoyance (over not highlighting Bose 'properly'---Subimal) marks yet another case in the ever-growing list of perceived global snubs Indians feel they suffer, from the U.S. airport searches of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan to the naming of a superbug after New Delhi, where it was found.
"Indians are touchy about this. All post-colonial societies are touchy about this," said political psychologist Ashis Nandy of the Delhi-based think tank Center for the Study of Developing Societies. "The sooner we get out of that, the better."
"Many people in this country have been perplexed, and even annoyed, that the Indian half of the now-acknowledged 'God particle' is being carried in lower case," The Economic Times wrote in an editorial Monday. What most don't realize is that the naming of all bosons after Bose "actually denotes greater importance."
From: Jiten Roy <jnrsr53@yahoo.com>
Satyen Bose, Chairman of the Department of Physics, D.U., Bangldesh, invented Boson; Higgs (or so called God's particle) is a boson also. If you visit the link below, you will learn about racism 101, and see how world media is talking about Higgs, without ever mentioning Bose, for the birth of Higgs boson. It is like - describing a hand without ever mentioning whose hand it is. It's an eye-opener.

Anyway, Higgs boson, the so called God's Particle, is born, meaning - the foundation block for the construction of the universe is found. Now what? Does this invalidate intelligent design? What do you think?
