Imagine that you have just arrived on a planet in another solar system. Suddenly, five minutes after you landed, you spot an alien life-form. This is an amazing discovery! You may well spend decades trying to understand this exotic being, probing its properties and investigating how it came to be there. At the same time, you expect that there may be other fascinating creatures around, maybe even more intriguing than the first and possibly much harder to get a glimpse of.
The Higgs boson was the remaining piece of the Standard Model of particle physics, our leading theory of the properties and interactions among the fundamental bits of nature. Much of particle physics does not fit into this model, however. The current state of our field feels like trying to understand the science of cooking when all you have is a good grasp on the theory of how water boils. The Standard Model is silent about dark matter and even the force of gravity.
So far we have only seen collisions that produce a single Higgs boson at a time. But we think that it should also be possible to produce two Higgs bosons in one collision. This “di-Higgs” production would give us a direct window into how the Higgs energy field turned on after the big bang because it is a direct measure of how strongly the Higgs boson, and therefore the Higgs energy field, interacts with itself.
Is it really, though? String theory is AWOL, supersymmetry is a no-show, and foundational questions like the collapse of the wave function are so starved for data and new ideas that even Many Worlds is starting to look good. I am not a physicist, however.
Shedding light on profound mysteries of particle physics could one day be beneficial for the use of future technology.
これだけ綺麗に部品と配線の色が整理されていると、故障や修復にかかる時間を大幅に短縮できそうだな。何より綺麗!
Isn't it sci-curious, you have to crank up the watts while the current (pun intended) psyence rejects the electric universe model... all to detect something that is supposed to answer to gravity - which is 10•27th power weaker a force than the electric force. Science has humor
