On page 129-131 of Unzicker's book, the Higgs Fake, he makes some comments about what he calls Higgs Infotainment. After saying that particle physics has no useful output at all, he goes on to say that what people don't realise is that Cox is a particle physicist (like those at CERN). Unzicker describes the following quotations by Cox as verbiage: "the most complex machine ever built"; it found the "genuinely fundamental" Higgs particle, "one of the most important discoveries in the history of science, on equal footing with the electron" and physics is in "a golden age".
But the case of the electron is entirely different from the so-called Higgs particle. You can affect an electron directly by deflecting its path in a discharge tube with either a magnet or an electric charge. The Higgs particle is said to exist for such a short time that direct action on it is impossible. It is said to be observed from its by-products. And the by-products are said to be a mathematical prediction. Mathematics are manipulated to get the required result. Physics should not be done that way.
