  • 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

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.

    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

  • 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

  • Identity of Indiscernibles

    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.

  • Nonuniversal Effects in Bose-Einstein Condensation

    3708 Words  | 8 Pages

    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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Time Travel and it´s Theories

    852 Words  | 2 Pages

    Time travel has always been an ambitious dream in science fiction. Writers such as H.G Wells not only kept their readers mesmerized by great novels such as “The time machine” but also introduced the idea of time travel in the imagination of their readers. Today time travel is not regarded as strictly science fiction. Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity permits a unique kind of time dilation that would ordinarily be called time travel. The theory states that, relative to a stationary observer

Throughout her journey she learned all about electrons, energy, interference, particles, and bosons. Electrons When Alice is just getting into Quantumland she runs across a spin up and spin down electron.She looked more closely at the one nearest to her and observed a small figure, coming roughly up to her waist(Gilmore 7).

    specific mass, a specific electromagnetic charge and a spin of 1, but no color charge (so they do not participate in the strong force). Weak interactions are the flavor changes between particles (flavor being the specific type of particle). The final boson is the graviton. It has theoretically not been observed due to the relative lack of energy that gravity has compared to the other forces. But it is theorized to be the force-carrier wave for gravity, and the interactions it deals with is mass and energy

  • 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

    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

    theory. In order to make those quantized oscillations consistent with quantum mechanics and special relativity, the number of spacetime dimensions has to be restricted to 26 in the case of a theory with only forces (bosons), and 10 dimensions if there are both forces and matter (bosons and fermions) in the particle spectrum of the theory. So where does gravity come in? If the string traveling through spacetime is a closed string, then the spectrum of oscillations includes a particle with 2 units

  • Early Universe Research Paper

    Introduction Before diving into a discussion about the early universe, it is helpful to look at the observable properties of our present universe first. Modern cosmology is based on the cosmological principle, which states that on a sufficiently large scale of about 200 Mpc, the distribution of matter in the universe is homogeneous (the same everywhere) and isotropic (looks the same in all directions). The Universe is considered to be uniform with the same average density and pressure independent
