Higgs Boson News to be announced Dec 13th

Would this be in essense, the equivalent of describing vacuum energy, as a quark (and gluon) soup in an unbound state? (Where by unbound I mean in a state other than bound or confined in particles, like protons and neutrons.)

You can look at it as an infinite reservoir of soup, much like the Dirac electron sea. It's not the only way of looking at it, but it makes for a nice intuitive picture of what's actually going on when particles form and decay.

i don't know what i'm taling about, but i heard something like

sigma 3 something is needed to be a scientific observation
sigma 5 something is needed to be an undisputed proof.

but the higgs particles existance has sigma 2.5 something at the moment...

can anyone tell me what I'm talking about? my math teacher said something about this today.

Why does the Higgs have to be such a big particle. It is big as the "mass of two copper atoms" as someone commented. So it is this large you would wonder why it is so hard to find?

What does 12 or 13 electron pulses add up to in Electron Volts PP?

The more massive a subatomic particle is, the more energy it takes to produce it in a particle accelerator collision.

 

. . . . . something about "Not seeing the forest for the trees" . . . . or visa versa, perhaps?

 

So is every particle just a version of another like you can take one and add energy, you then get another? Does it not matter what you start off from?

If it is expected to always break up into other components wouldn't understanding the components be enough? It sounds as if you are trying to make a monster when in fact they don't exist naturally.

So you think they should be looking for a combination of trees rather than finding a "whole" forest tree?

A forest (universe) is a combination of trees (mass-energy-field components) . . . if you are focused on a single tree . . . you may fail to see the entire forest . . . visa versa . . . . if you are focused on the entire forest . . . you may fail to see single trees

 

If I go into the forest I'll only get excited if I find fungi, mushrooms etc, they are what I like!

i think we have to wait till late 2012

It could be like the fish that was told there was such a thing as water.
Wherever the fish looked, he couldn't find it.


I want to know how many there are of the particles. One per cubic inch?
A Billion? How many are there around?

 

Discovery of sub-atomic particle 'higgs-boson' is not yet conclusive .

But i wonder why this particle is also named as 'GOD's particle' ?

Is it that , SCIENCE believes in GOD ?

 

It's the GOD particle,
because it gives the Universe a MASS.

 

Among the million particles they will call one Higgs and then they will have some thing that does not fit then they will fins an then fudge factor

 

A science writer got carried away with his prose and named it the God particle.

Physicists hate the name.
