Leaving apart the fanciful term
God-Particle which is more rooted in popular imagination than hard science, this whole creation is a play of oneness with multiplicity. Oneness is behind and multiplicity is in the front and on the surface. Matter and material reality is no exception to this rule. Scientists have always intuitively felt that there must be some kind of unity (a unified field) behind the complex play of forces that sustains our material world with countless variations of appearances (size, shape, properties etc). The search for this fundamental 'something' behind matter led them to probe deeper and deeper until it could touch that basic integer that can explain everything. It is the right direction to proceed and each such deeper probe will lead science one step closer to truth. But whether Higgs - Boson particle is the final knot of matter where light mingles and precipitates as 'substantial' mass is yet to be seen. What they have noted in the experiment is the footprint or the signature but whether it belongs to the person they were searching is yet to be proved. If it is then it is good since all victory and mastery is good. This will empower man, the mental being to do many more miraculous things than it can do now. Whether this power will be in the control of an asuric humanity or a daivic type is however yet to be seen.
Secondly this will be a first distinct step of science to pass from beyond the realm of physical matter to the vital substance. There will be many many more steps before it can enter through this labyrinthine road even into the outermost courtyards of the pure spiritual realms...there will be the full range of vital substance - energy and then the mental consciousness to traverse......nevertheless!
So what has been discovered is a 'tiny particle of God', the infinitesimal abode of the Infinite.....the building blocks that have built the material universe as God's temple.
As to everywhere, well everything is everywhere in this creation...so that does not indicate any new discovery....not only Bosons and Fermions but also electrons and protons and energy and consciousness are everywhere. Being everywhere does not mean God which means many more things than simply being omnipresent.
We can discuss this more if there are more questions. Meanwhile four poems of
Sri Aurobindo to conclude:
I saw the electric stream on which is run
The world turned motes and spark-whirls of a Light,
A Fire of which the nebula and sun
Are glints and flame-drops, scattered, eremite;
And veiled by viewless Light worked other Powers,
An Air of movement endless, unbegun,
Expanding and contracting in Time’s hours
And the intangible ether of the One.
The surface finds, the screen-phenomenon,
Are Nature’s offered ransom, while behind
Her occult mysteries lie safe, unknown,
From the crude handling of the empiric Mind.
Our truths discovered are but dust and trace
Of the eternal Energy in her race.
* * *
All here is Spirit
All here is Spirit self-moved eternally
For Matter is its seeming or its form,
A finite motion of Infinity
Built up by energy’s electric storm,
A flux of solid instability
Whirled into shape by a tremendous Force
That labours out the world’s fabric endlessly,
Creates and then destroys without remorse
Titan and worm, the dew-drop and the sea,
Our fragile bodies like the aeoned star,
But through it all remains immortally
The secret spirit we for ever are.
Matter is Spirit’s semblance glamorous
Self-woven for its own field and robe and house.

Science and the Unknowable
In occult depths grow Nature’s roots unshown;
Each visible hides its base in the unseen,
Even the invisible guards what it can mean
In a yet deeper invisible, unknown.
Man’s science builds abstractions cold and bare
And carves to formulas the living whole;
It is a brain and hand without a soul,
A piercing eye behind our outward stare.
The objects that we see are not their form,
A mass of forces is the apparent shape;
Pursued and seized, their inner lines escape
In a vast consciousness beyond our norm.
Follow and you shall meet abysses still,
Infinite, wayless, mute, unknowable.
* * *
Electron
The electron on which forms and worlds are built,
Leaped into being, a particle of God.
A spark from the eternal Energy spilt,
It is the Infinite’s blind minute abode.
In that small flaming chariot Shiva rides.
The One devised innumerably to be;
His oneness in invisible forms he hides,
Time’s tiny temples to eternity.
Atom and molecule in their unseen plan
Buttress an edifice of strange onenesses,
Crystal and plant, insect and beast and man,—
Man on whom the World-Unity shall seize,
Widening his soul-spark to an epiphany
Of the timeless vastness of Infinity.
