It was really difficult for me to create this meme, because i don't really like dogs normally. but this one just seemed perfect here.

Yeah... am I missing something here? I don't get the joke.

The dog breed is named particle.

Interesting. I haven't heard of that breed before and I'm having trouble finding anything by searching - could you toss me a link or something?

I think it's a joke. Instead of "The God Particle", it's "the dog particle".

Ah. Okay, grumpy physicist who objects to the term "God Particle" signing off. 🙃

I made it up^^

Sorry that you wasted your time searching I thought it was obvious nonsense.

You've led me astray! Haha, no worries. I probably should have figured that but I try not to assume that new information is false just because I haven't heard it before. The post as a whole primed me to think there was some missing piece of info I hadn't heard before.

Don't assume either way. You did the right thing by asking for proof. If someone gives you proof go from there and if someone can't... Well... Speaks for itself :)
