global warming is realHello, black holes fanatics… Gus Leonisky here — the mad pseudo-professor/failed engineer who brought you the SeaGlider, now working on the 5,000 tonnes cargo ship carbon fibre version, running at 33 knots (maximum for sleek displacement hulls).
A recent study of black holes confirmed a fundamental prediction that the theoretical physicist made nearly five decades ago. But the ultimate award is beyond his reach.
SCIENCEALERT STAFF To understand the Higgs boson, we really need to talk about the Higgs field first. This field gives certain fundamental particles their mass, while also separating two of the four fundamental forces of nature from each other. The field's existence was first theorized in the early 1960s, with physicists considering the consequences of a hypothetical field that would explain how electromagnetism and the weak force became separated, and why some force-carrying (or gauge) particles have mass (like W and Z bosons) while others (like photons) don't. British physicist Peter ...
CERN news: The Higgs boson was discovered by CMS and ATLAS in 2012 (Image: CERN) READ MORE The 17-mile (27km) long instrument, which sits deep under Geneva and parts of France, accelerates and collides particle to near the speed of light in hopes of recreating conditions present at the Big Bang. In 2012, CERN's ATLAS and CMS experiments announced to the world they have found evidence of the elusive Higgs boson particle. Since the 1970s, this boson was theorised to impart mass on other particles by interacting with the so-called Higgs field which permeates the Universe. Theoretical physicists ...
