On two impossible scientific endeavours: Higg's particle-ism and cladism

There are two scientific endeavours that are vain per definition:

1. to find the smallest particle and
2. to find species,

which Bertrand Russell demonstrated about a hundred years ago.

These two endeavours do, however, share one property: being considered as self-evidently within reach by many physicists (Higg's particle-ists) and biologists (cladists), respectively.

The belief of these physicists and biologists is so strong that the former claim that they have found it with a certain probability and the latter simply turns matters up-side-down by considering it as found.

Don't accept their claims! Fact is that neither Higg's particle-ists nor cladists ever will find their respective dream, because it simply isn't to be found, as Bertrand Russell demonstrated. They need money and have to produce results, but their respective strives are actually vain. We can understand how reality functions, in several different ways, but not find out what it is. That's the fact of life we have to accept and live with.
