  • untill 19th century they had thought the space is fullfilled with ether which lets the light go through.

    but it was wrong.

    now they started saying the space is fullfilled with Higgs particles?

    though we would admit this fact..

  • @TommieAitken

    Yes, experimentation showed that Light needed no medium to pass through.

    And experimentation will show whether there is a Higgs field or not.

    "now they started saying the space is fullfilled with Higgs particles?"

    No they are suggesting there is a Higg's Field present.

    Imagine it as similar to a magnetic field. Actual Higgs particles can not exist at the low energy levels present today they decay very rapidly.

  • All theory, no proof! Science will never admit it, but consciousness converts energy into matter and the mass of the matter is determined by the amount of energy converted.

  • @Eljaygee020346

    Hypothesis not theory.

    A hypothesis needs sufficient evidence before it can be considered a scientific theory.

    And that will be up to what the LHC will find.

  • How does it "pop in and out of existance"? Doesn't that violate some kind of conservation?

  • @MondayNites

    It is due to the uncertainty principle. A state which exists only for a very short time cannot have a definite energy.

    The conservation of energy is a bit like a bank, you can go overdrawn temporarily as long as at the end of the day everything balances out.

  • really informative and interesting

  • This is a great video

  • Great! If there were some 2-hour show on this, I'd definitely want to check it out.

  • @beastinblack It's not the shape. Or the size. I'm not learned in the math involved in quantum mechanics, but from what I know about it, it probably has a lot more to do with the vibration of the particles. Their wave's respective frequencies probably are the deciding factor when it comes to how they interact with the Higgs boson.
