Will neutrinos reveal why the universe exists?

  • One response
A collaboration between two leading neutrino experiments, NOVA in the US and T2K in Japan, paints the most precise picture yet of neutrino oscillations – and may come closer to explaining why the universe is full of matter and not

The Code of the Universe – Does Nature Always Choose the Shortest Path? Article and Invitation to a Lecture

Does nature always choose the shortest path? From the philosophy of Aristotle, through the discoveries of Heron, Fermat, and Newton, to Richard Feynman's revolutionary interpretation of quantum mechanics, it turns out that nature operates according to a simple principle.

Remember how hard it was to find a single Higgs boson? Try to find two at the same place and time. This fascinating process, called Higgs pair production, can provide scientists with information about the self-interaction of

Last Tuesday, the Premilab laboratories in the United States announced that the muon's magnetic moment does not match the theoretical calculations. The experiment conducted in the state of Illinois confirms the anomaly that was discovered several years ago. Is this evidence?

This graph, called the sombrero hat graph, describes the different energy states of the field, according to the Higgs mechanism. The higher you go (V axis in the graph), the higher the energy. The other axes indicate the values ​​that the field can have. In state 1 (up the hill) the field (and its particles) have a very high minimum energy, as it was immediately after the big bang. In state 2 there was any change and the field immediately dropped to a new minimum energy state, much lower than the previous state. Note that the field has infinitely many such new states of minimum energy, around the energy hill. All these states have the same low energy. But when the field goes down it randomly chooses one state out of all these possible states. This choice broke the symmetry of the minimum energy states into a single state that the field selected.
