Higg's Boson

Is that what it's called? The "God Particle". The thing that is thought to somehow tie together quantum mechanics and general relativity, the thing that is postulated in membrane theory, where the elegant mathematics give us the Theory of Everything. I've seen a number of science fiction treatments lately where the particle machine gets powered up and the energy level is reached and the boson is found; and all of a sudden humanity is contacted by advanced races out there somewhere who figure that since we have reached that point in technology, then we are to be accepted into the Galactic Federation or something. Or maybe evil empires out there just wait for us to open the boson wormhole, and then pounce upon us to enslave us and eat our children.
I've thought for a long time that we blew it a while back, when Marconi sent radio waves pulsing through the ether.....before that, the lands of the Fey existed peacefully alongside of us as they had for ages.....but we start messing with the electromagnetics of the situation, and the castles in the air come crashing down....the ancient races become ill, and must move away from us to escape our careless blasting of dots and dashes and ragtime music and sit-coms into their reality.....they move over a couple of layers in the multiverse, and run into space aliens, who find out about us this way.....so they've had more than a hundred years to start their war ships headed our way at close to light-speed.....
