In fact, it hates it so much that it has sent a Higgs particle into the future in order to kill the machine intent on discovering it. (New York Post -- Entertainment) Black holes: Dumb insolence  Jun 25, 2009 And particles of sound, known as phonons, are just as susceptible to Heisenberg s uncertainty principle as particles of light (photons) or, indeed, any other fundamental particle. The upshot is that pairs of virtual phonons are appearing and disappearing all the time, and if one gets trapped inside a supersonic boundary, the other should be released into the wider world to make a noise. (The Economist) Precision Measurement Of W Boson Mass Portends Stricter Limits For Higgs Particle  Mar 18, 2009 The Standard Model describes the interactions of the fundamental particle of the world around us. Experimental observations agree with the predictions of the Standard Model with high precision. (Science Daily) Back to Physics News [ Terms Of Use | Privacy | About ] ©1998-2009 SurfWax, Inc.
