Higgs Boson Theory

879 Words4 Pages

What is the Higgs Boson? Will it destroy the universe? By:Gage Minke Tates Creek High School My project is about the Higgs Boson. The Higgs Boson is a particle in physics that is referred to as the God Particle. The higgs boson is a theory that gives mass to elementary particles. The Higgs boson is a particle that brought scientists to their knees. The Higgs boson does not "explain" physics Bosons are a type of subatomic particle which can occupy the same point in space as each other unlike matter particles, such as electrons, which can never overlap. The Higgs Boson was first suspected in 1960’s. The Higgs Boson is named Higgs after the Scottish theoretical physicist Peter Higgs who was one of the first to predict that this …show more content…

If the particles continue to gain energy/mass, then they will not be able to move at the speed of light. But then again if the field did not exist then universe would literally fall apart. If the Higgs field did not exist, particles would not have the mass required to attract one another, and would float around freely at light speed. Also, gravity would not exist because mass would not be there to attract other mass. The Earth has mass. It is the Earth's mass that causes it to have gravity, and so in order to not have gravity the Earth would have to not have mass But if the Earth didn't have mass, it wouldn't be there …show more content…

The answer to this question is possibly. With every scientific discovery there is always a possibility that the information can be used for the wrong reasons. Thus, leading to a tragic crisis, in this case; ending the world. Like I stated before, mass required to attract one another, and would float around freely at light speed causing there to be no gravity allowing all objects to float off the Earth’s surface. The lack of gravity would send every organism into space, where there isn’t oxygen. Leaving every organism to die, thus further showing that without the Higgs Field nothing could survive. In conclusion, the Higgs Boson and Higgs Field play a major role in ensuring every organisms survival. These discoveries will furthermore always affect every future discovery. Overall, the Higgs Boson and Higgs Field play a role in ensuring survival, advancing scientific research and have both positive/negative effects. For more information about the discoveries,visit

Also, the document states that this discovery was made in 1820, near the beginning and middle of the war, and this therefore increased their man-power in the war effort, giving them an advantage that allowed them to colonize Africa.

Promenade Samuel-De Champlain is a relatively new building built back in 2008 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Quebec. The architect’s design incorporated a large belvedere to overlook the scenery of the Saint Laurent River. Promenade Samuel-De Champlain takes advantage of the beautiful scenery as seen in the pictures aside.

My research project is about the Planck Spacecraft. The planck spacecraft was a mission to look at the radiation of the cosmic microwave background. Planck is measuring tiny fluctuations in the CMB with unprecedented accuracy, providing the sharpest picture ever of the early Universe. This allows cosmologists to zero-in on theories that describe the Universe's birth and evolution. Working at a tenth of a degree above absolute zero.

Peter Higgs One does not truly know all the secrets of the universe there is mysterious yet to be discovered in this amazing universe. The god particle discovered by Peter Higgs is one of the great mysterious to this universe we live in today and the past. To truly understand more of how Peter Higgs brain had an understanding of the universe one must travel back in time to the beginning of his life. Understanding his life will not be just to understand his family life but also understand his journey through education and what made his mind expand to greater thinking about the universe.

The role of the Higgs Boson is to give mass to fundamental particles. Also to slow down particles so that they can form atoms so that the universe can exist. That is the role of the Higgs Boson. How does the Higgs Field give Mass to Particles?

Soon Higgs had concocted his own theory on the subject. The first article he sent in to a journal was accepted and published, however a week latter when he presented a second letter it was rejected. After revisions to his article and theory, the letter was soon accepted.

This theory goes towards the idea that with the intricacies of the human body, nature, and the universe, there has to be an intelligence outside of our own. This stands out to me because, while subscribing to the theory of evolution I believe that with the evidence we have today it is clear how we came to be where we are today. As aforementioned with the limited thinking and understanding of science in the thirteenth century, it can be seen why the complexity of human anatomy remained a mystery to a majority of the population. Likewise with this the complexity and mysteries of the universe that that we are still attempting to solve, the idea of an initial creator being responsible for its creation in a way takes away from the wonderfulness of mystery. Without finding a supreme being that we can call God, that would give some people meaning.

The third theory, which is a special theory of relativity, said that there was no such thing as absolute space and time. The fourth and last theory “noted an equivalence between energy and mass described as, the most famous equation in all of Physics, E=mc²” (Isaacson). The year 1905 will go down in history science history forever. Without Einstein's “miracle year”, who knows how much we would know today about science. Overall, Albert Einstein created many theories and was a very smart and clever scientist, but the year 1905 will always be remembered as the year that changed

Mickey Ngobeni Research Question: Is the movie ‘Gravity’, according to Newton’s laws and physics in general, accurate? Introduction: ‘Gravity’ is a sci-fi, techno-thriller movie that has its plot’s setting based in space. Astronauts (main characters: Sandra Bullock as ‘Dr. Ryan Stone’ and George Clooney as ‘Matt Kolwaski’) are sent into space, yet encounter a series of events, most of which is susceptible to occur in outer space (Foogray, 2015). Questions have risen as to how accurate the movie is according to physics and Newton’s law, and many have been answered.

Take a minute to imagine what our world is going to look like in two hundred years or so. Most see robots and flying vehicles while I see a barren waste land. America is the greatest country around the globe but soon it won’t even exist. Despite some of the greatest minds and doctors, America will become severely withered because of an incurable plague. Even dating back to America’s first beginnings there has always been problems with illnesses.

It is contradictory. It does not actually say that God exists, but that we can call the unknown cause of everything god. The word god can be the name for some energy that caused the Big Bang. The final argument is the ontological argument.

A theory is defined as an explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a compilation of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Theory is not scientific law, which is a natural phenomenon that has been proven as absolute truth. However, in the public-school setting, evolution, a theory concerning the Earth’s origins, is established as an indisputable fact allowing no room for other theories, specifically creationism, to be taught. These two battling theories uphold two opposing perspectives that attempt to explain the creation and development of life.
