Blame it on the decision of the publisher of a certain book to take a phrase from an early draft "that goddamn particle", drop a syllable and change anotherone and make it the title of that book "the god particle".
It catered to a certain part of the population, and snowballed from there.
- brain5ide 9y agoAdd the success of "Da Vinci Code" which has no specific relation. But then add it's prequel "Angels & Demons" which uses antimatter from CERN to destroy Vatican. Then add the crap about LHC creating a black hole and destroying the universe and you have 500 TV stations at the launch of a particle accelerator. The specific experiment that was happening at the time didn't matter much.
