Post by: prima_donna on June 29, 2014, 08:15:30 PM
Peter Higgs who discovered the boson particle and Higg's field is awarded the Physics 2013 noble prize.

Interesting, my Chemistry teacher had once mentioned photons are particles. It was always thought particles have mass but Photons are massless because it doesnt interact with the Higgs field.

I can't wait until we weaponize this beast and use it for combat, preferably mounted on some mech-bot.

Thats if we know how to manipulate the higgs field. Boson particles decay rapidly after seconds of proton collision. In theory the universe would collapse on itself but there seems to be other unknown forces that are holding the universe together. There's more yet to search.

Aka the god particle.

Peter higgs doesn't like calling it God particle. Perhap mainstream has an entertaining way of bringing controversy.
