As you may recall, in December 2011, the managers of Atlas and CMS announced that they had begun to close in on the elusive particle in the range of 124-126 giga-electron volts, and this time they will be rejected on the results of the experiments in 2012, which were carried out at a higher energy than before.
Researchers from the Permilab Institute announced yesterday (2/7/2012) that they have narrowed the mass range of the Higgs boson, the particle that is supposed to be the key to mass in the universe. The news comes at the height of preparations for a promised announcement on Wednesday at the Sarn particle accelerator in Geneva, during the ICHEP Particle Physics Scientists Conference in Melbourne, Australia.
(As you remember, the Higgs boson is also erroneously called the God particle. It was originally named by Leon Lederman, who was at the time the director of Permilab in the title of a book he wrote The Goddamm Particle and someone in the publisher omitted the Damm).
Even after analyzing data from 500 trillion collisions in the last decade in the Tevatron particle accelerator at Primilab, the Higgs particle has not yet been directly detected. However, reducing the range to its mass will allow a certain level of security. According to the researchers, the Higgs, if it exists, has a mass of 115-135 gigakelron volts.
"Our data point strongly to the existence of the Higgs boson, but results from the LHC experiments in Europe will be needed to confirm the discovery," said Rob Rosser, co-author of the experiment from the US Department of Energy's Premilab National Laboratory.
The researchers are hunting for the Higgs boson by observing the particles it decays into. While at the LHC they look for energetic photons, at Paralab they look for bottom quarks. These two types of particles are expected from the discovery of the Higgs particle. "Just like a drinks machine always returns the same surplus in a different combination of coins." saying.
The statistical significance of the Premilab results is 2.9 sigma, meaning that there is a 1 in 550 chance that the data originated from another source. While 5 sigma significance is required to declare an official discovery, these findings suggest that the Higgs doesn't have much room to hide.
"We have developed a sophisticated simulation and analysis software to identify Higgs-like patterns" says Luciano Rostori, also participating in the experiment. "It's still easier to spot a friend's face in a stadium full of 100 people than it is to look for Higgs-like events among trillions of collisions."
The scientists at the Axis particle accelerator will reveal more details about the Higgs boson on Wednesday
The scientists working at the particle accelerator at Sarn in Geneva - LHC (Large Hadron Collider) will reveal more details about the path to finding the Higgs boson.
As I recall, in December 2011 a similar event took place that was eagerly anticipated, during which the heads of the Atlas and CMS experiments announced that they saw jumps in the data at approximately the same mass - 124-126 Giga Electron Volts (GeV). However, the heads of the two experiments emphasized in a seminar held in Geneva, that the statistical significance of the results is too small and does not allow for an official announcement of the discovery, something that will require additional experiments and additional analyses.
A seminar is also planned this time, for Wednesday at nine in the morning Central European time (ten Israel time). However, between the two seminars, Seran's management announced in February that it had succeeded in increasing the power of the energy fund to 4 tera electron volts, instead of the 3.5 tera electron volts that were activated in 2010 and 2011. According to Saran's announcement, the heads of Atlas and CMS will report on the initial data analysis of the experiments conducted in 2012.

Have you ever been poor?
R. H.,
I meant that the mistake might have been that they thought there was no site (=
I'm sorry if I came across as condescending, that was not my intention.
My intention is that many times the scientific community was fixated on hypotheses that resembled facts, and that one should learn from the past and not take anything for granted. As Einstein did during the Ether period.
I agree with you, because you never know where the next progress will come from, and that progress must be made in all areas. I didn't think space exploration was a waste, or doubt its contribution to humanity. I believe that the accelerator can also contribute confidence to humanity. But I also know that we are limited in time, and that there are other problems, so the situation must be analyzed statistically, and collaborations and huge resources must be focused, like the accelerator project, according to priorities.
As you mentioned, handing out the money to the poor will not solve the problem. But studies focused on the roots of the problem.
Nitzan.
The title "the divine particle" is an abbreviation of the title "the goddamn particle" and in English "the "goddamn particle".
Peter Higgs himself is an atheist.
O,
I understood that you wrote that they mistakenly thought there was a site. What I don't like about your approach are two things.
1) The baseless condescension of the scientists "I thought that compromising on "visibility" over unequivocal proof leads the scientists to make mistakes." Are you aware of how many debates there are in the scientific literature, how many times are repeated and checked until discoveries are accepted as "correct" and that too with a limited guarantee? See for example the story of the neutrino that was thought to be faster than light or the cold fusion that turned out to be a mistake. Mistakes happen and no body is immune to mistakes, but today's scientific research has established a rigid and quite successful method (which of course can also undergo improvement) for examining results and evaluating them.
2) The dictated science approach or as you wrote "I thought, there are places where there is more urgency for scientific research." Universities and research institutes should, in my opinion, operate under scientific freedom to investigate anything they see fit. You can never predict where a discovery will come from that will propel research forward. Are you aware of how much space exploration, which seemingly seems like a colossal waste of money, has advanced humanity? Do you know how many accidental discoveries have advanced mankind? Can anyone predict what energy sources will come from what you consider the "redundant" discoveries at Sarn?
If you take the money and give it to the poor, let's say, you will end up with the poor and without the money, but if you invest in research, you will reach the future. Renaissance versus the Middle Ages.
O
You're right. Don't be moved by people who scold you for raising doubts about the validity of findings, due to their being vague. Anyone who is enthusiastic about any scrap of proof, before it has been thoroughly tested, is not serious.
According to what was published on this website, the Higgs particle was not discovered, but they talk "around and around" to create the appearance of the discovery of the particle.
What they found at the moment is "reactions that conform to the standard model", this is probably nothing new, because there were probably "reactions that conform to the standard model" in the past as well.
It is possible that the same finding now gives more accurate results, therefore, based on the more accurate results - it is possible to get a more accurate hypothesis about the mass of the Higgs particle.
By the way, do you remember that a few months ago they announced with great fanfare that they had apparently discovered a particle with a mass of 125 GEV?
They published about that discovery a sea of newspaper articles. Since the 125 GEV commotion there has been silence. We have not heard of cross-examination or additional experiments aimed at verifying or refuting the finding of the 125GEV particle.
If in half a year, say, the silence continues regarding that 125GEV particle - my conclusion will be that it is a dead scientific duck buried in the dark.
I ask.. from this a particle?.. from this means a divine particle?.. why is it called divine??
What can be learned from it?
Thanks.
- I did not claim that the mistake was that they thought there was a site (=
- I thought that compromising on "visibility" over unequivocal proof, leads the scientists to make mistakes.
- I thought that there are places where there is more urgency for scientific research.
I think that, at least until there is unequivocal proof, things should be taken with a limited guarantee. I hope that after all the resources invested, we will know soon whether the particle exists or not.
O,
Don't you think you're contradicting yourself? You claim that the scientists of the past thought that the earth was flat, that there was an ether and that today's scientists are ignorant and have no idea how they will be laughed at in the future. But how do you think it was discovered that the earth is round? No website? How do you think the achievements will arrive thanks to which the people of the future will laugh at our ignorance? Is it not thanks to scientific research? And if not, then thanks to what? How will they solve the hole in the ozone, global warming and hunger in Africa? Thanks to prayer beliefs or with the help of research?
Nonsense has long since proved that there are bison:
http://www.google.co.il/search?num=10&hl=iw&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&q=%D7%91%D7%99%D7%96%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%9D&oq=%D7%91%D7%99%D7%96%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%9D&gs_l=img.3..0i24.1813.2656.0.3078.7.7.0.0.0.0.282.876.0j2j2.4.0…0.0.nun2DlXEwUg&biw=1024&bih=662&sei=96bzT4mZMIiw0AWi8eiZBw
I think that with the potential that humanity as we want it to exist will cease, the money of the experiment should have been invested in experiments that will bear fruit in the near term.
There have been several times that scientists have seen what they wanted to see, when there was nothing there: the earth is the center of the universe, the ether, the dark energy... oh we're only in 2012 and you haven't discovered it yet. I've already said too much.
A hole in the ozone, global warming, people dying of hunger in Africa, and we write on the Internet and chase achievements. Humanity still has no idea how ignorant it is, in a few years people will laugh at you that in order to move from place to place you would travel and get killed.
O, do you think humanity will become extinct before we use the accumulated knowledge from scientific experiments?
In my opinion, funds should have been invested in such quantities as are being invested in this project in an attempt to repair the hole created in the ozone...
Black circle on a white background. You may be sure that there is something there, just because you "see" it.
The truth is, with the probability that humanity, as we want to see it, will become extinct, even before we have time to use the knowledge that will be produced from the project in a practical way, I'm sorry, that they didn't try to think about how it is possible to fix some things in the world with the same amount of money first.
I am entirely made up of God's particles only. Yes, scientifically proven. Maybe in my past there once, decades ago and maybe hundreds or thousands,, you know, some of these particles fell out in that area,, like in the whole world.
Asking for an explanation:
The explanation is simple. Tomorrow there will be a fundraising party to continue funding the LHC project. It's a project that requires continued funding and now apparently they are presenting a semblance of "progress" so that the generous donors will open their wallets.
Another detail according to Hasan in two of my responses to the owner of the "confidential" nickname that was linked to another article (an article about the Neanderthals). You will find the above comments here
https://www.hayadan.org.il/neanderthal-galileo-290612/comment-page-1/#comments
(You may have to scroll through the comments to "older comments" to find them.
in brief:
(apparently) nothing was discovered at the LHC except the discovery of a particle whose mass is about 125GEV This was done a long time ago (several months ago). This particle can be irrelevant to the Higgs particle. Now maybe they will present (at the fundraising party) what the next phase of the experiment is. Even if the results of the next step are positive, this will not prove that the Higgs particle exists, it will at most be a weak indication that it may exist.
Father, permission for what? to increase energy intensity? Running the accelerator?
And tomorrow is just the announcement, isn't it?
GEP The Permilab researchers said they are waiting for Saren's confirmation, because each facility detects a different type of trace.
No, my father, the question is not vexing, it just seems strange to me that they invested so much money in this huge project, because they said that in order to find this "divine particle" you need huge amounts of energy to run there inside the accelerator.... And here at the end it seems that the strongest evidence for the existence of this particle actually comes from a much smaller and modest accelerator.... It seems strange to me.
Ya, some questions….
If I understood correctly the entire research work is actually to find a probabilistic field for its existence. What other particles do we know about only at the probabilistic level? Were there particles that we only knew about at this level and then took on more tangible dimensions? If so, will he, with luck on our side, also be able to become a "real child"?
And in general, why are you and all the scientists at CERN so sure of its existence, and if everyone is so sure of its existence why are so many reservations heard?
Please forgive me for the poor level of content, I am very knowledgeable in the entire field of theoretical nuclear physics. I also think that this discovery, and the whole enterprise at CERN restores my faith in humanity, that there are other projects of this magnitude in the world that are "only" designed to develop human knowledge. The day there is any certainty on the matter, whether it is tomorrow or in the future, it will be a day of celebration for all mankind.
Asking for an explanation asks for an explanation, then he will get an explanation.
First of all, with a bit of reading comprehension, you will understand that a decade of measurements at Primilab, only managed to reduce the range of energies in which the Higgs is found, regardless of the search that was made for it at Cern.
Besides, the accelerators at Czern have been working for many years and engaged in various experiments. The search for the Higgs has only been conducted in recent years. Before that they were engaged in other measurements and believe me that no money was wasted there for nothing.
Hey
Okay, understand that most of the people don't understand a bit of it at all!
And I ask.. from this a particle?.. from this means a divine particle?.. why is it called divine??
What can be learned from it?
Thanks.
Because this is a nagging question. Therefore the answer accordingly. Applied results are expected only from science. In every other field, they are willing to throw away trillions without getting anything.
I don't understand, they invested so much money in the huge particle accelerator LHC so that it would discover the mysterious Higgs boson particle, and at the end we are told that the main part of the discovery was actually made in another, much smaller particle accelerator Tevatron in Primilab?
Can anyone explain?
"Tomorrow, meaning Wednesday, now it's Tuesday. What do we gain from the yeshiva students' mutterings?"
- You are asked what we gain from this research and why it is important and your response is what do we gain from the yeshiva students. If I didn't know you were an adult, I would think you were a rebellious 15-year-old looking to annoy everyone. So of course the scientific level in the responses is declining. Comments like this alienate readers.
Why the "damned particle"? Because it's so hard to find?
The God Damm Particle means "the damned particle"
Robert,
Good question.
If I am not mistaken, it is a term in the equations that has units of mass, is attributed to the Higgs and is unknown. That's why we try to measure what it is. But they do know how to put a lower limit on it so that it cannot be zero.
So they say they are looking for the Higgs mass.
If you're not comfortable with the term "mass", you can refer to it as its rest energy (which is essentially the same thing).
To Itzik, you don't increase the mass of the particles. You add kinetic energy to them. As you give them more energy, particles with a larger mass can be obtained (meaning - larger rest energy).
It has nothing to do with Higgs. The Higgs manifests itself in the most understandable way, in my opinion, as some mathematical creature that allows us to write that other particles have mass, as we already know.
But he leaves us with another parameter that we don't know (as I just wrote) and that we are trying to find.
In addition, he introduces terms into the equations that describe interactions between him and other particles.
For the sake of comparison: we have an organ that describes interactions between photons (which is actually an electromagnetic field) and electrons (and other particles).
The way they try to measure the aforementioned parameter is related to the interactions between the Higgs field and other particles.
We can, by collision between protons at high energies, produce heavy particles and hope that they will decay into a Higgs boson, which will then decay into products that we are able to detect in the detector.
If we identify products that really arise from the Higgs, we can calculate the Higgs mass based on their momentum.
By the way, the process through which we can identify Higgs products in the optimal way depends on the question of what the Higgs mass is.
(This is kind of a catch…)
Therefore, the modus operandi was:
First they assumed that the Higgs mass is around 100 GeV and then tried to find evidence of it due to the decay of a certain particle to the Higgs (and find the products). They didn't find it in this area, so they assumed its mass to be around 170 Gev and looked for evidence of its existence in such a galaxy. They did not find it again. And so on.
Until they tried in the 120 GeV range and now it seems that they do find evidence of its existence.
So from this it is clear that a kilogram of feathers would not be a kilogram of feathers if we did not have the Higgs.

Since you are probably well-educated from the leaning
Only about scientific truths and sustainable scientific research
who controls himself and his reactions, has extraordinary self-restraint abilities.
I would be happy for an informed explanation
How can a black hole form in an accelerator
What is its size and how does it dissipate?
And why is he not dangerous or yes.
I.A.
If particles are accelerated to a speed close to the speed of light and thereby increase their mass.
So it's like we collected Higgs bosons for them?!
Then there will actually be more Higgs bosons in the collision product and the chance of finding the interaction that suits them will increase?!
And I will repeat my question again.
What weighs more, a kilo of feathers or a kilo of Higgs boson?
Paradoxically, it can be said that the proof of the existence of the "Higgs" has the application of a certain disappointment,
Although it is a confirmation of the standard model, but... many expected the unexpected to happen and it is, unfortunately
Unfortunately, it doesn't happen. In other words, many expected that, as happened in the past in the history of science, the experiment would produce results
Different from the expected and surprising that will lead to new insights and discoveries.
Confirming the existence of the Higgs is disappointing in the sense that what science thinks is true is (probably)
Really true.
On the other hand, it does not seem that humanity will be able to produce, in the foreseeable future, a device with a higher energy than the accelerator
LHC is at the center, so it should not be expected that experimental science will be able to confirm, in the foreseeable future, exotic predictions
arising from string theory.
is that so ?
to me. A. And for every mandhu, explain to me once and for all what is called the mass of a particle that generates mass????
point,
I think his rift is filled with lack of education and baseless speculation. And since the rift has the suction power of a black hole, it sucks out all its nonsense at an uncontrollable and unlimited rate...
What is a rupture in space? On what background did the rift narrow? What fills that tear?
Instead of the divine particle, a true translation in the spirit of the original is "the excellent particle" (only that instead of "c" put *)
The reference to the formation of the black hole created in the accelerator is, in my opinion, too little:
What is meant by?
Personally, I don't think it's a black hole in the usual sense of the word
That is, a black hole that appears after the collapse of a massive star.
These are what I call a "temporary rift in space", which attaches particles to it and maybe even connects particles
And thus he disappeared.
I quite believe that this kind of tears are formed and affect the dispersion of the particles after the collision
And it could be that it is actually the Higgs that they are looking for or that it is another phenomenon that has been studied
or has not yet been investigated.
And in any case, it is possible that this kind of ruptures are also formed in the collapse of stars and this is one of the phenomena
that distinguish a black hole or the central phenomenon or not at all.
Such tears have not been proven nor ruled out, but the idea seems logical to me.
R.H. Refai.M., the particle was not observed directly and like almost all the particles known to us.
By and large, all we know how to "see" are traces of an electron (or positron), muon (or anti-muon), interactions of photons with matter, interactions of quarks (and antiquarks) with matter and in addition, with a lot of effort also to detect interactions of neutrinos with the material.
Fortunately, everything I wrote above these are elementary particles, so everything composed of them tends to break down into them. (These are not all elementary particles, but only those that are stable enough so that they do not break into other products in about 0.0000000000000001 seconds).
There is also a slight caveat to what I wrote in parentheses: the photon is actually a particle (or field) carrying a force.
All in all, I can't explain the whole standard model here (which, by the way, is very interesting, in my opinion), but I will try to answer the main questions.
1. The great importance of the Higgs boson is that we cannot (mathematically) add to the equations (that is, to the Lagrangian - for those familiar with the concept) terms that describe the mass of the various particles, without introducing the Higgs boson into the equations.
Explanation: The Higgs comes from the need for our equations not to change (that is, physics not to change) even if we switch to a different frame of reference. This is a principle of relativity that we must uphold. Unfortunately, adding mass terms without the Higgs does not allow us to observe this principle.
This is where the Higgs comes into play. This is actually a calibration field that we insert into the equations, after we perform a spontaneous symmetry breaking. That is, we describe the physics from a certain point of view, add the calibration field and then get in the equations (which are now the same in every reference system) mass terms and the Higgs boson.
So that's all well and good, but in order for us to get this explanation, we need to find evidence that the Higgs exists.
2. The search for the Higgs:
The Higgs is an elusive particle. The problem is this: We are able to create all kinds of particles, which in turn break down into elementary particles that we "see". The creation of such particles is carried out by the collision of protons or electrons in particle accelerators. For example, at the LHC, two beams of protons are accelerated against each other and allowed to collide at a high speed (that is, at a very high energy). In the collision, all kinds of particles are created, where as the energy higher, heavier particles will be formed. Each particle that is formed has some probability that it will be formed. Some will be formed almost certainly And some of them with low probability.
The problem is that the probability that a Higgs boson will be created is related to the mass of the particle from which it was created. The only particles we can accelerate without them falling apart before the collision, are electrons or first generation quarks (more precisely protons, which are composed of first generation quarks). In both cases, these are particles with a small mass, so the chance that Higgs will be created in the process is too small.
Therefore, they try to create heavy particles (this is achieved by investing energy on the order of 4 tera electron volts). The probability that such a heavy particle will decay into a Higgs boson is a little higher.
But even then, there are difficulties that arise from not knowing what the mass of the Higgs is. So looking.
3. Identifying the Higgs:
I will explain more later, if asked.
4. Level of responses:
I hope it will raise the level, in your eyes.
If you are bothered by the level of comments, surf to Wi-Net and read the comments there. They really aren't worth the response.
5. Danger:
There is no danger in increasing the intensity of the proton beam. All in all, this is the means that allows us to produce particles heavy enough so that a Higgs boson can be created from them. The biggest danger is for the European taxpayer, who has to finance the high costs of the electricity that such an experiment consumes.
6. The profit:
As they wrote here, the gain is a confirmation of the standard model. That is, it means that we have a model that is able to describe the physics of elementary particles (high energies) in a good way.
If the Higgs did not exist (and it probably does exist), then that would be a sign of the failure of the model and then another explanation would have to be found.
By the way, the standard model, as good as it is, does not explain all the phenomena known to us. But this may be due to the fact that it relies on all kinds of approximations. (After all, there are very few physical problems that we know how to solve accurately).
So in conclusion, the profit to the world of elementary particle physics is enormous and is the fruit of many years of investment, starting at the beginning of the last century, when relativity and quantum mechanics laid the building blocks for the standard model, through the proposal of the quark model (1964), and up to the present day.
On the daily life of most people, this discovery will not affect, probably, in the near term. Except perhaps for physicists who work in the field, who will now have more difficulty finding a job.
Good Day.

A. The Universe
From the Big-Bang it is a rationally commonsensical conjecture that the gravitons, the smallest base primal particles of the universe, must be both mass and energy, ie inert mass yet in motion even at the briefest fraction of a second of the pre Big Bang singularity. This is rationally commonsensical since otherwise the Big would not have Banged, the superposition of mass and energy would not have been resolved.
The universe originates, derives and evolves from this energy-mass dualism which is possible and probable due to the small size of the gravitons.
Since gravitation is the propensity of energy reconversion to mass and energy is mass in motion, gravity is the force exerted between mass formats.
All the matter of the universe is a progeny of the gravitons evolutions, of the natural selection of mass, of some of the mass formats attaining temporary augmented energy constraint in their successive generations, with energy drained from other mass formats, to temporarily postpone, survive , the reversion of their own constitutional mass to the pool of cosmic energy fueling the galactic clusters expansion set in motion by the Big Bang.
B. Earth Life
Earth Life is just another mass format. A self-replicating mass format. Self-replication is its mode of evolution, natural selection. Its smallest base primal units are the RNAs genes.
The genesis of RNAs genes, life's primal organisms, is rationally commonsensical thus highly probable, the "naturally-selected" RNA nucleotides.
Life began/evolved on Earth with the natural selection of inanimate RNA, then of some RNA nucleotides, then arriving at the ultimate mode of natural selection, self-replication.
C. Know Thyself. Life Is Simpler Than We Are Told, Including Origin-Nature Of Brain-Consciousness-"Spirituality"***
The origin-reason and the purpose-fate of life are mechanistic, ethically and practically worthless. Life is the cheapest commodity on Earth.
As Life is just another mass format, due to the oneness of the universe it is commonsensical that natural selection is ubiquitous for ALL mass formats and that life, self-replication, is its extension. And it is commonsensical, too, that evolutions, broken symmetry scenarios, are ubiquitous in all processes in all disciplines and that these evolutions are the "quantum mechanics" of the processes.
Human life is just one of many nature's routes for the natural survival of RNAs, the base primal Earth organisms.
Life's evolution, self-replication:
Genes (organisms) to genomes (organisms) to mono-cellular to multicellular organisms:
Individual mono-cells to cooperative mono-cell communities, "cultures".
Mono-cell cultures evolve their communication, neural systems, then further evolving nerved multicellular organisms.
Human life is just one of many nature's routes for the natural survival of RNAs, the base Earth organism.
It is up to humans themselves to elect the purpose and format of their lives as individuals and as group members.

Regarding the word God Damm in the article, I looked for a translation and there is no such word. Apparently someone didn't copy the word goddamn correctly. Its meaning is "to all the spirits, to hell".
As for that "God particle" moniker, Marcelo previously reported that:
"As some of you may know, The God Particle is the title of a popular science book by Nobel Prize winner Leon Lederman, who was Fermilab's director for many years and thus my boss when I was a postdoctoral fellow there. According to Leon, he wanted to call the book The Goddamn Particle because nobody could find the thing. However, his editor discouraged him from the title, suggesting that The God Particle would sell many more copies. This is the story that Leon tells us."

Point, the rumors say that you spread the aforementioned rumor….
: )
In any case - whoever might mistakenly believe those rumors - I really wish he could escape from God before he was pulled into the black hole (which, in my opinion, was created in the first place from the vacuum in his head). We would get rid of some people of whom we have enough anyway.
Rumor has it that a black hole has formed in the particle accelerator and tomorrow they will announce it.
For those who don't understand, this means that within 5 months the basta will be closed.
: )
No, it's not dangerous.
Gaining knowledge - the discovery is confirmation of the standard model of particle theory.
Like most scientific discoveries, there will likely be a practical impact on our daily lives sometime in the future.
I will be forgiven by hypocritical physicists and will not accuse me of misleading the public.
The Higgs boson is what enables the understanding of the concept of mass. A particle passing through a very dense field of energy creates the illusion of mass (friction). A boson is a particle without spin and usually describes a transaction between particles with mass.
For example, a photon is a boson that describes the interaction of the electromagnetic field - a type of force that arises according to the theory of relativity from the physical curvature of space (first obtained by Klotza-Klein and studied by Einstein in his later years - if you will, the father of string theory. The official father of string theory, the model of Veneziano - in my opinion, Einstein preceded him, and it is not true that he only opposed the unified field theory that he tried Petah at the end of his life, the laughter of fate is compatible with string theory even though her father opposed quantum theory). According to string theory, the origin of the curvature is in curled up - microscopic dimensions of space - curled up like a microscopic ring. The other forces are also described in this way: strong, weak nuclear, gravity, electric and magnetic. My opinion on the complexity of the space is reserved for myself at the moment. The main thing is your question, what is a Higgs boson.
A good book to explain - The Elegant Universe Brian Greene. It can be displayed in the books section.
Well, moving on to particles with mass - which are the components of the universe, the replacement particle is this boson.
There will be hypocritical physicists who will say that I am misleading and that it is energy E0 that exists in a complete vacuum
which is not zero. How everything starts without any particles - there is always energy there.
I am trying to convey the essence and importance of the Higgs boson.
I appreciated the discovery - they narrow down the presence of the particle that seems to me to have not yet been found in an order of magnitude
From one in a trillion to one in a billion. The particle has not yet been found unless we are surprised tomorrow.
Hello Avi Blizovsky
In other sources I read that the scientists found traces of the particle. But the particle was not observed directly.
(I thought to mention this because from what I understand, and I may be wrong, it will not be possible to observe the particle itself).
From what I understood from the articles here and there, what the scientists are looking for is the traces of the particle.
That is, they need to make sure that the traces are indeed of the particle itself and not something else.
Is this what you also understood from reading the articles in other sources? Or do you suggest waiting for Wednesday? And what is happening with our friend Michael Rothschild, why is he not participating in the celebrations? I can't believe he would send his friends from the science club to go find new friends. I'm sure he has enough time (after all, only lazy people don't have time) to dedicate them to the readers of science. You will also benefit from it. Look what happened to this site in the last few months (*no connection to Israel Shapira - if you are reading this don't panic, I'm not talking about you), just read the last comments, see to what level the discussions here have descended.
Brother.. I remember the days…. A responsible adult would come here, make order in the mess... a small part even learned a thing or two... quality people asked to comment here... (for all the buffoons - yes, I clearly think that a large part of the commenters here are senseless).
Really, my father, with all due respect, the scientific level of the truth in which we live, which the science site is supposed to represent, at least in my opinion, is in constant decline in recent months.
Oh, and one more thing - isn't it a bit dangerous to increase the power of the energy beam?
"We", my meaning is not me, you and the public, (if this is indeed what you mean about "we", because from what is taught in yeshivas, we do not gain anything) but about the scientists at CERN. What will finding this particle give them? And why is it so important?
Tomorrow, meaning Wednesday, now it's Tuesday. What do we gain from the mutterings of yeshiva students?
hi my father
Is there supposed to be an experiment tomorrow (in addition to the expected announcement) to prove this? (Or is it already proven?)
Anyway, it's just an announcement, isn't it?
And if I may ask a few more questions - what do we gain from finding this particle? Why is he so important? And could it cause dangerous scenarios?
