The Higgs Boson -- which was HORRIBLY nick-named the "God Particle" -- is a particle that SHOULD exist if Peter Higgs is correct in his explanation of why some particles have mass and others don't.
The scientific paradigm called "The Standard Model" (TSM) has, for over forty years, been spectacularly successful in making predictions about particle interactions. One of its failures, however, was that there was no explanation why particles have mass. Higgs proposed an idea that was consistent with TSM and explained mass quite well. The problem is that, until the last few years, nobody could test whether Higgs' explanation was a correct one or just a mathematical "fix."
Experiments at CERN are closing in on an answer to this question.
What else can I help you with?
Why is antimatter called the God particle?
The true name of the so called (by non specialists) god particle is the Higgs boson; this particle was predicted but not discovered until now. The Higgs boson is not the equivalent of the antimatter.
What is a god atom?
There is no god atom. You may be confused with the god particle, a sometimes-used name for the Higg's boson, but no atom bears any relationship to any god whatsoever.
What is the goal for CERN?
to find scientific discoveries, such as creation of black holes and the "god particle", (google it) amongst other things.
What can be a scientific principle for a zippo lighter?
The scientific principle is friction.... and heat and ultimately the FIRE
What principle states that the wave and particle aspects of both matter and radiation are necessary parts of the whole?
The principle you are referring to is the wave–particle duality principle, which suggests that particles such as electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. This concept is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics.
Explain the basic principle of magnetic particle testing?
By changing the permiability of ferromagnetic meterials, surface and near surface discontinuities are traced, is the principle of magnetic particle testing. By changing the permiability of ferromagnetic meterials, surface and near surface discontinuities are traced, is the principle of magnetic particle testing.
On which scientific principle does airplane works?
Bernoullis principle
Who coined the word God Particle?
The term "God Particle" was popularized by physicist Leon Lederman in his book "The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?" However, Lederman originally wanted to refer to the Higgs boson as the "Goddamn Particle" due to its elusive nature, but the publisher suggested "God Particle" for marketing reasons.
Is the Uncertainty Principle a scientific law or theory?
Since it is called "the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle" it is neither a scientific law nor a theory. It is a principle.
What are god particles?
The Higgs boson is often referred to as the "God particle" by people outside of the scientific community.Why this is so, is probably a religious way of trying to keep "God" alive, whilst scientists are finally determining how the Universe works.
How does the principle of lepton number conservation apply in particle interactions?
The principle of lepton number conservation states that the total number of leptons (such as electrons and neutrinos) must remain constant before and after a particle interaction. This principle helps to predict and understand the outcomes of particle interactions by ensuring that the total lepton number is conserved throughout the process.
When was god's particle found?
The Higgs Boson was discovered in July of 2012. The media calls it "The God Particle", but this is a misnomer; there is nothing godlike about this particle. It's the particle counterpart to the field that gives particles their mass.
