What if the Higgs Boson particle, subject of CERN's ATLAS experiment, doesn't show up?

WELCOME to this Gravimotion Website Page!
Gravimotion is a logical (not philosophical) alternative to theoretical physics.
Gravimotion's main feature is to make sense!

Mass is still a mystery in physics

In 1994 the CERN Council (Centre Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) approved the construction of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). Hadrons are subatomic matter particles.
In 1996 CERN approved the ATLAS experiment, which is aimed at proving the existence of the Higgs boson particle.
The Higgs particle in theoretical physics plays the role of mass in reality or of mass as part of matter.
There is no other accelerator in the world that is powerful enough to detect the Higgs boson.

Finally, on September 10 2008, after those long years of planning, preparation and precise and tenacious work the LHC has been turned-on!
On that day a single beam of particles did a full revolution around the 27 km ring. Everything ran as expected; a first round occurred left wise, immediately followed with a round in the other direction.
The next step was to perform the first collisions...
Unfortunately on September 20 2008 a malfunction occurred.
Fortunately now, yet after all repairs and scheduled maintenance were accomplished, the LHC has been turned back on early in 2010.

Mass does not exist in the Gravimotion world

Should you have landed directly on this page, this web site introduces the gravimotion theory an alternate to physics theories.
In the gravimotion world mass doesn't exist and that theory predicts instead that the Higgs boson particle will never be discovered no matter the energy involved.

Should the Higgs particle boson be "physically" discovered though, gravimotion is history!
It is as simple as that!

The temporary setback experienced by CERN, as annoying as it is, nevertheless provided room to breath for this author (unknown by comparison)!
In addition the experiment complexity and the amount of calculations that have to take place now at CERN, unexpectedly provide a few more years of extended and welcomed life to that interpretation of nature that is gravimotion!

Yet, once the LHC reached its designed power, should no Higgs particle boson be discovered, gravimotion might be considered as viable alternative!

What if the Higgs Boson doesn't exist?

Neither physics nor fiction
there is nothing like
gravimotion!

As of now, the Higgs boson particle is of extreme importance in theoretical physics.
Should the Higgs boson be dismissed, as suggested in gravimotion:

In view of the fact that mass would not exist in reality, physics' mechanic equations written by Newton (force = mass acceleration ) and Einstein ( E = m C² ) would have to be thought again!
While our concept of mass would turn out to be fiction, these equations would still be valuable for real applications, but would be useless as far as telling us what is Nature.
The part of quantum theory that deals with the atomic number, coincidental to the atom's protons and their mass would have to be re-evaluated too with respect to reality!
Physics whole concept of inertia, would have to be re hauled too.
As can be seen, should the Higgs boson be dismissed, entire sections of theoretical physics edifice would break apart and sink, just as the polar glaciers tumble and sink into the polar sea!

But is that important?
Physicists will continue their research and pursue their theories one way or another!
As an example nobody proved that time and space exist and they are of prime importance in physics!
So if mass doesn't exist, who cares? No matter what, physics mathematics will remain as valid as physics experiments!
The point is that while physics theories describe reality with extreme accuracy, physics theories do not explain anything.

Gravimotion's contribution

Should the Higgs boson be dismissed and along with it our human (and physics) concept of mass, the gravimotion theory, which is not based on particle mass, might become handy and come to the rescue!

Besides being simple, innovative and making sense the gravimotion theory is a unified theory.

Simple because expressed through graphs rather than mathematics.
Innovative in its simplification as time, space, gravitation, light, even matter are all made of motion!
It makes sense because it gets rid of all the dualities that exist in physics
