Are Neutrinos useless? Would we exist without neutrinos? What are neutrinos? And what purpose do they serve? Where do Neutrinos come from?



They are the second most abundant particles after photons. They do...

What is the origin of mass in the universe? Symmetry breaking. Symmetries in quantum mechanics result in 3 of the fundamental forces of nature - electromagnetic, weak and strong forces. However, the breaking of...

How does the Higgs give mass to particles? How do elementary particles gain mass? All mass is Energy. 99% of the mass of an atom is contained in the binding energy within the nucleus. But about 1% of your mass is...

What is the God Particle? How does the Higgs Boson work? If you were a fish, would you know that the entire world in which you existed was contained in a substance called water? You probably wouldn’t know it because,...

What is Mass? And Where Does it come from? It's source is going to blow you away! It's (mostly) NOT from the Higgs Field.



We tend to think of mass as weight? So for example, you might...

if you took a notebook, a plastic bottle, a toaster, and a glass container and burned them in a fire hot enough, around 10^31 degrees Celsius, all the particles and forces, would become one entity. This is what...

Ordinary matter that we experience around us is really just made of 4 particles, the up and down quarks which make up the protons and neutrons in the nuclei of atoms, electrons which form a cloud around the...

In 2012, the Higgs boson (the God Particle) was discovered. It's responsible for giving mass to fundamental particles. But the scientists never measured the particle. So how can scientists claim a discovery without...

QCD: Quantum Chromodynamics. How can positive protons be so close together in the nucleus, if they repel each other? Japanese physicist and Nobel laureate Hideki Yukawa sought to answer this question. He proposed...

Could the universe be in a metastable, or false vacuum state? Could there be a looming vacuum catastrophe waiting to happen? Is the universe doomed?



This is related to the Higgs boson and the heaviest...

Why to neutrons exist? You may say, this is a silly question. But the problem is that we know that free neutrons are unstable. This means that if you isolate a neutron by itself, after about 15 minutes, it will...

Certain mathematical equations contain unnerving dangers, Arguably, E=mc^2 is the most famous equation in science. C is a very large number. But in Einstein’s, equation it is squared. This means that mass contains an insane...

We have 3D + 1D of time. Why aren’t there 4 dimensions or 2 dimensions? Can life exist in the 4th dimension? Is there something special about three dimensions that makes life possible? This is the question that But...

What is the Electroweak force? Electroweak theory explained: At the moment of the Big Bang, all 4 fundamental forces were probably the same. But as temperatures and energies lowered, the forces separated into...

In this video I explain what supersymmetry is, why physicists think it should exist, why we haven't discovered it, and why it is necess

There's a theoretical idea that could get...

SUMMARY

In April 2022, a team at Fermilab announced that the W-boson was measured to a new level of 7 sigma precision- 80.4335 giga electron volts (GeV) plus or minus 0.0094 GeV. However, this was not...

SUMMARY

How is mass and energy the same thing? What is mass really? If you weigh 80kg and are in a car moving 100km/hr, your energy is equal to about 30000 joules. But did you know that the energy you have standing...

SUMMARY

What if gravity repelled instead of attracted? Repulsive gravity may have shaped the entire history of our universe. For centuries gravity was defined by Isaac Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation which...

Summary:

Everything you can see is made of up of the same fundamental particles. The best theory of fundamental particles and forces is the Standard model of particle physi

The Higgs boson is a wave, ripple or disturbance in an invisible, all-permeating field called the Higgs field. In the year 1964, Peter Higgs, François Englert and four other scientists proposed a rather unique idea to explain why certain...

From Newton's laws to E=mc2, we think we have uncovered the secrets of the universe. But some claim these laws evolve and others point to their human and cultural origins. Might eternal natural laws be human hubris? Or is the mind of God...

Dianna from Physics Girl visited CERN in Geneva Switzerland to find out what the detectors at the LHC are looking for, and dive into the fundamental question: what are particles?

In 2012, scientists working at the CERN particle physics laboratory near Geneva proved the existence of the Higgs boson particle, the “visible manifestation of the Higgs field.” <b<br/>r/>
