I am a cat and Kelsey loving atheist, who is appalled that some people refuse to use logic and try to oppress others. Oh, and my name is Jon and I'm from Michigan. Creepers can find my face here.

Life In My Head

I did not know this…

“Higgs is an atheist, and is displeased that the Higgs particle is nicknamed the ‘God particle’, as he believes the term ‘might offend people who are religious’. Usually this nickname for the Higgs boson is attributed to Leon Lederman, the author of the book The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?, but the name is the result of the insistence of Lederman’s publisher: Lederman had originally intended to refer to it as the ‘goddamn particle’.”

Goddamn Lederman’s publisher. The goddamn particle is a much better name!
