It was in this spirit, almost 50 years ago, that a few insightful physicists asked themselves where mass comes from. The existence of mass is so quotidian that the idea it needs a formal explanation would never occur to most people. But it did occur to Peter Higgs and to five other scientists. The reason that fundamental particles have mass, the researchers calculated, is their interaction with a previously unknown field that permeates space. This field came to be named the Higgs field. Finding the Higgs would mark the closing of one chapter in this story. The elusive boson rounds off what has become known as the Standard Model of physics. The physicists' plan is to use the Standard Model as the foundation of a larger and more beautiful edifice called Supersymmetry. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
