The brain surgeon was a Christian, but the cosmonaut wasnâ€™t. â€˜I have been in outer space many times,â€™ bragged the cosmonaut, â€˜but I have never seen any angels.â€™ The brain surgeon stared in amazement, but then he said, â€˜And I have operated on many intelligent brains, but I have never seen a single thought."

An author, Leon Lederman, wanted to call it 'that ***** particle' because it was clear it was going to be a tough job finding it experimentally. His editor wouldn't have that, and he said 'okay, call it the God particle', and the editor accepted it. I don't think he should've have done, because it's so misleading.”
