After one thinks about it for awhile, one will realize that believing
in anything except physical particles is the religious faith-based
part. Can anything exist in the real world that doesn't have a
physical existence? The answer to that question is why particle
physics has become the accepted standard. Everyone who believes that
something can exist without an associated physical particle is free to
try to prove their belief but how can non-particles be measured?

Kind of what I meant. It seems that every year they are chasing
something, the latest being the 'Higgs' boson. The "Big Ring" in Europe
is a prime example by having counter rotating particles near the speed
of light smashing into each other at nearly twice the speed of light.
Sure there will be some odd particles coming from that but the life time
of these particles is sometimes measured in Nanoseconds, so they just
don't exist in the natural world.
