Physicists are searching for answers to an evolving universe deep
underground in the Swiss based CERN laboratory. They seek out the elusive Higgs
Boson sometimes referred to as the God Particle. Why this reference to holy
Deity. Maybe because, just like God, it does not exist and so today’s holy men
of knowledge may have to search elsewhere to understand the origins of the
universe. Of course getting Six Billion Euros to discover that something doesn’t
exist does raise the question over the social value of the particle. It
provokes a thought whether discovering if we are part of a super universal
symmetry we have no control or influence over has any better social benefit
than the old God theory. Either way it still all comes down to how do we humans
successfully participate within this universal supersymmetry.

Understanding the current financial crisis is not so elusive. It is a
combination of consumer fed human greed in the public and financial sectors clashing
with a natural periodic technological evolution. This clashing is confounding a
disruption of symmetry within the economic system. The Eurozone crisis, now at the centre of chaos caused by this
disruption of symmetry is posing similar dilemmas to the search for Higgs. What
if the answer Eurozone leaders seek in fiscal unity and control of the new
power it wishes to create, like the God
particle, just isn’t there.
Can they accept fact over theory
and like the physicists in Switzerland prepare its vast funding to search in
new directions. A journey’s destination
does not have to end with an unintended disruption. It may delay progress, but the
situation often provides new knowledge and means to overcome the obstacle. Such
is the power of human intellect.
Of course Higgs Boson may be
present somewhere around 125GeV within the waves of matter and anti-matter and
European leaders may be able to fuse a new particle from the ashes of the
financial crisis over the coming year, but certain fusion is not guaranteed. It
can be wise to prepare to seek elsewhere for an alternative answer.
