Scientists are hoping to discover the theoretical Higgs-Boson which has been nicknamed by over zealous scientific journalists as the "God Partial" This is because it will, if the theory pans out, help to bridge the gap in understanding between the world quantum physics and that of general relativity. The BBC has been getting itself in a little media hype rush in covering the event, but still has some good reading material on the matter [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/bigbang/asktheexpert.shtml] here[/url]. I also found a nice little article that helps to understand the subatomic world [url=http://www.teachersdomain.org/resources/phy03/sci/phys/matter/atoms/index.html] here[/url]. Unfortunately you can't watch the video unless you join up. We were having a discussion in the Philosilly department recently about the nature of matter [30319] I think this experiment will only add to the debate. From what little I understand The Higgs-Boson and the Higgs-Boson Field is postulated to be the reason subatomic particles achieve mass. Just a side note. If the nucleus at the center of an atom was the size of a pea, then the relative size of that atom with its electrons spinning around the nucleus would be about a mile in diameter. As an electron has no mass the atom would be actually something like 98% nothing, [b] nothing[/b] I've been thinking a lot recently about this nothingness and I hope to write about it later when I get a little more time online. Anyway, as it's my birthday I'm going to my local computer supplier to pick out some components for a new build. I'm going dual core but still can't decide whether to go Intel or AMD, but that's a whole nuther story.
