What is the implication of the existence of God Particle(Higgs boson) to our spiritual views toward this world? Heard that this is the only particle having a mass.

This is no longer a guess. Scientists just discovered something very close to it. goo.gl/nv74C

Has Science unleashed another monster?

The atom used to be the smallest known particle of matter. Then protons, neutrons, quarks and now the God particle. Do you see a trend here?

The significance of this particle is that it has real mass. All others are wave.

It's not the only particle mass, it's not proven to be the Higgs boson until spin-0 is confirmed and some other property. The name "God particle" is a misnomer, it's just a name. The only impact on spirituality this discovery will have is one more word and idea to think about, wonder about and imagine about. Life is as it ever was.

All that the confirmation of the Higgs boson does is to confirm a theoretically self consistent model of the interactions of subatomic particles at energy levels below 10TeV. The theory that it confirms is called "The standard model" but this model is known to be an incomplete model of 'physical reality' because it does not fully explain gravity, nor does it address dark matter and dark energy. Because of the shortcomings of the standard model many physicists believe that is an interim understanding, and that there is plenty of new physics to be discovered at energy levels above 10 TeV (1Tev = one trillion electron volts). This is like saying that we now know that our theory about leaves being made of cells is correct, but we know that those cells are also made of something. I reckon that we can keep looking at smaller and smaller levels, and higher and higher energies, and we will just keep finding more and more weirdness, and that it will carry on like that infinitely. The closer you look at complexity, the more complexity you find. Physicists are like characters on a screen carefully analysing the images projected on the screen in an attempt to find the screen.

Advaitists believe the screen is the reality and it is futile to analyze the image. But few of them, if any, are able to see the screen. Scientist never believe in the screen and like you say fully focus on the image. Is it possible someday someday in the future a better model will show up which proves both sides are wrong? I just wonder if humans have the capability of knowing the ultimate reality at all. It is like a cat would never be able to comprehend the basic addition and subtraction.

But something is comprehending this It's for you ALONE to discover what that is. It is actually beyond human comprehension, but that is only because humans have no awareness. Humans are in awareness, awareness isn't in humans. How come supposed particles of the big bang (human bengs) are busy smashing other particles of the big bang together to discover something more about the big bang? How come is it that the big bang effectively knows about itself? What advaitists know is that there is only one 'reality', and that reality is aware of itself. And "that in which" these words 'register' IS that awareness. Where do you find these words 'registering'?

Unless scientists discover the awareness/consciousness particle, they won't impress me.
Just a few months ago some scientists apparently proved that neutrinos travel a bit faster than photons, and the new age community was already packing up for time travel and teleportation.

Awareness is just like the God particle...
We've discovered that it's here, we just don't know what the hell it is?
