Kampervan,

There's a slight flaw in your argument. If someone doesn't believe in the Higgs Bosun particle there hasn't been a raft of laws and legislation over many centuries telling him/her that they have to conform to certain norms because other people DO believe in the Higgs Bosun particle.

People haven't built temples, churches, synagogues and mosques to "celebrate" the Higgs Bosun particle. People haven't started wars (at least not to my knowledge) over the existence of a Higgs Bosun particle.

So we have a situation whereby our everyday lives are governed to an extent by the belief, by some people, of an entity they cannot prove exists.

I find that rather bizarre.
