I know they have not found it yet but there is lots of evidence to prove that there is a Higgs Boson particle. We as a science community have not been using the right experiments to find the particle. There are lots of things that when put together makes proof of the missing Higgs Boson particle. I feel that it is enough proof that the particle is there we just need to find it.

    year that the physicists working in the Large Hadron Collider announced the detection of the Higgs boson particle. The Higgs Boson particle was hypothesized by a British physicist named Peter Higgs more than 50 years ago because of the undetermined origin of mass to known particles made the assignment of mass extremely difficult and made mathematical equations inconsistent (Exploratorium, 2012). The Higgs Boson particle was supposed to complete the standard model of particle physics and break the electroweak

  • Higgs Boson Theory

    713 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Higgs Boson is a subatomic particle, such as that has zero or no spin and follows the statistical description given by S. N. Bose and Einstein. The Higgs Boson theory was discovered in 1964 by a Dr. name Peter Higgs who came up with the idea of the Higgs field which keeps everything in balance and keeps electrons from flying everywhere. When the Higgs Boson theory first came out to other scientist they all thought that Mr. Higgs was crazy because they knew that gravity held everything in its

    section the symmetry group of standard model, describes the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions, via the exchange of 8 massless gluons and 1 massless photon, respectively, for the strong and electromagnetic interactions, and three massive bosons, W± and Z, for the weak interaction2. Leptons and quarks which are the building blocks of the fermionic matter, are characterized in the structure below, (3) (4) (5) and each quark appears in its three different colours, as shown below2

So according to the M-theory, if the Higgs singlet only travels in a fifth dimension, time in our Universe is not of consequence to the particle. Therefore it could be created by the collider in the fifth dimension, and when it decays, its "decay particles" will be detected at an arbitrary

  • Energy as Matter

    believed; it is possible that matter is only a form of energy. In fact, according to Albert Einstein, matter and energy are different forms of the same thing (“Do Antimatter and Matter Destroy Each Other?”). Through analyzing the superposition of bosons (particles without mass) and fermions (particles with mass), transformations between energy and matter, the creation of mass, and the mass of energy, the existence of what humans consider to be matter will be questioned. Matter takes up space. According

  • The Fundamental Particles that Make up Everything We Know

    You know what really makes you and me alike? We are both made up of trillions and trillions of cells, and even smaller atoms. These atoms make up all everyday matter, and till the beginning of the 20th century many people thought they were the smallest building blocks of life. It was then discovered that they too have even smaller parts called subatomic particles. In short, these particles often have interesting characteristics that keep the universe running. Understanding these subatomic particles

    true, that is if two objects are not identical, then they do not share all their properties, that is they are discernible. That is how traditionally discernibility was described. However, as we have seen in French’s counterexample to the PII, two bosons that are not numerically identical might share all their properties. Since the PII is not true its contrapositive, sentence (5) below, is not true either. Therefore, it is not the case that every two objects that are identical are discernible.

  • Superfluids and Superconductors

    the Indian physicist S. N. Bose developed an alternate law of radiation which modified Planck's laws to include a new variety of particles, namely, the boson. He sent off his theory to Einstein for revision and translation, and Einstein swiftly came up with some additions to the theory. He expanded the laws to incorporate the mass of the boson, and in doing so theorized a strange phenomenon. He predicted that when atoms of a gas came together under cold enough temperatures, and slowed down significantly

  • Nonuniversal Effects in Bose-Einstein Condensation

    Nonuniversal Effects in Bose-Einstein Condensation In 1924 Albert Einstein predicted the existence of a special type of matter now known as Bose-Einstein condensation. However, it was not until 1995 that simple BEC (Bose-Einstein condensation) was observed in a low-density Bosonic gas. This recent experimental breakthrough has led to renewed theoretical interest in BEC. The focus of my research is to more accurately determine basic properties of homogeneous Bose gases. In particular nonuniversal

    Natural Philosophy also called philosophy of nature comes from the Latin phrase “philosophia naturalis”. Natural Philosophy is the philosophical study of the cosmos and nature’s elements and how the materials around the world are formed. There are many branches of natural philosophy including: cosmology, etiology, astronomy, probability, the study of matter, the study of elements, and many other subjects. The pioneers of natural philosophy are mainly pre-Socratic philosophers; the most famous philosophers

  • Suspension Of Disbelief In Theatre

    947 Words  | 2 Pages

    The term “suspension of disbelief” is often used to explain the mechanisms of assimilation required to comprehend an invented scenario, mainly a piece of drama or fiction in movies, theater, or literature. The use of the term “willing suspension of disbelief” simply implies that one believes in a certain situation because one agrees to overlook some factors that would cause one to not believe on the particular situation. It means to overlook a lie knowing that it is a lie. This term was first coined

    “antisocial”, or “know-it-all”, preferring to label a fact-wielding teenager rather than understand the person beneath the stereotype. My version of a “nerd” is someone who has a true love for learning, who tries to understand everything around her, from Higgs-Boson particles to the Marvel Universe, from oligopolistic game theory to complicated board games. Thus, it should go without saying that the place where I am most content is somewhere where learning is encouraged. Somewhere where I can study what I want

One atom they have been experimenting with is the Higgs Boson that can be found in the Large Hadron Collider. As Abigail Beal wrote, “By smashing particles together at high speeds, to create high-energy collisions, particle accelerators were first used to look into the structure of an atom’s nucleus” (Wired

  • Sexual Gratification Essay

    (A) The sexual and aggressive drives are primary; a drive is not a behavior, only biological impulses. (B) Darwin argued that reproductive success is the key to survival and evolution, so natural selection is wholly based on sexual gratification. The oral stage gets gratification from the sucking and stimulation of the mouth as a baby, such as teething, breastfeeding, and sucking on the thumb. The anal stage gets gratification through pooping and bathroom elimination. In the phallic stage, masturbation

    Particle accelerators are considered hallmark of human technological advancement. Colliding subatomic particles in high energies, particle accelerators have brought dramatic paradigm shift in our understanding of the universe. Accelerators generally collide energetic particles together and look for the change in the energy of the system. This measurement of energy in colliding particles plays a vital role in the understanding of the events occurring inside the particle accelerators. Understanding
