Higgs Boson

Despite perpetual denials, the Quantum atom is Bohr's debunked planetary model. The EM Thread model of the atom offers a rational alternative that is consistent with the descriptions offered by theorists and images taken by researchers in the field.

According to the most widely-accepted theory of origins, at some point, roughly 14 billion years ago, everything that is, was, and will ever be, was tightly packed into a small, but infinitely dense point—a singularity. This 'point' eventually exploded, which ultimately hurdled everything we see into existence (of course, we're condensing here). However, to many physicists, 13.7 billion years just isn't […]

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has generated mind-blowing science in the last decade – including the Higgs boson particle. How the LHC, one of the most complex machines ever created, is helping physicists decode the universe.

Science News:What are bosons and how did they get their name?

Previously a Higgs particle has been created in an LHC detector and has then disintegrated...

New evidence of two massive subatomic particles scattering off of each other could provide hints about how the Higgs Boson works.

This track is an example of simulated data modeled for the CMS detector on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, which will begin taking data in 2008. Here a Higgs boson is produced which decays into two jets of hadrons and two electrons. The lines represent the possible paths of particles produced by the proton-proton collision in the detector while the energy these particles deposit is shown in blue. | Image creator: Lucas Taylor

Higgs Boson

This month marks the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson. But what exactly is this particle, and why is it so important? What has it taught us in the last decade – and more importantly, what could it teach us in the next decade?
