'God particle' announcement expected

[gubbi]

Does that mean Boson Particle has immensely high density? (this question might sound pretty noob)

Why would you say that?

ps: full disclosure - my understanding of Physics is very rudimentary - practically a noob!

It's ironic that Stephen Hawking is yet to win a Nobel prize, given that his theory of Gravitational singularity of a Black Hole, and black hole radiation has been validated and proved.



Does Amartya Sen ring any bell?


.

Exactly the answer my bong friend gave me when I said this to him .You are right , one should not stereo-type .

But bro Mamta,Pranab and CPM are way too many negatives for just one positive i.e Amartya sen . Anyway , that is a separate matter for another thread .
Don't stereotype bongs by miscreants of Mamata and other commies

When their theories are found correct by experimentation. The theorist and experimenter gets the prize. Noble prize is not given posthumously.

If you have observed the trend, only those theories and experiments which have practical applications in our daily lives merited a Nobel prize. Consider the Nobel Prize which Einstein won - for his work on photoelectric effect and not E=MC^2. No wonder, unfortunately Stephen Hawking wont get a Nobel Prize.

edit: corrected a silly a boo boo

So am i, so no shame in random chit-chats between two noobs.

See, in layman's term, electrons give charge to particles, but they do have mass. so just by that flow of that, i was wondering about the mass/density of Higgs-Boson particle. Now as they give mass to other fundamental particles without affecting volume, so by my logic, they must have immense density.

P.S: I'm talking in atomic scale, electrons does affect the volume of an atom.

What do you say?

Who said E=mc^2 has no effect in our daily lives...link back and you will find his equation everywhere..his theory didn't have proof at that time that's why he didn't get it.

IMHO, arent you confusing mass and density? Mass is a fundamental property while density= m/v, no?

Yes, anything which has mass should also occupy some volume. Isn't it?

P.S: Corrected, my question was regarding density.

Of course! I simply wanted to point out that Einstein won the Nobel Prize for his law of photoelectric effect and not E=MC^2.

Density=M/V

But then the subatomic particles dont have volume, no? The question of density doesnt arise.

Density=M/V

Bummer . Another boo boo. Thanks.

 

[hunter_hunted]

is that the thing from Angels and Demons?

If they are referring to Anti-matter than every one knows about it, because in Angels and Demons it was the Anti-matter particle . Which scientists have already created other than that I'm not sure.

They do have volume, but too small to taken into account, and not significant enough to influence any numerical or experimental outcome. But they do have volume. You must have heard that electron density in an electron cloud is always a positive function, now without volume, how can it be?

Coz he already got one already. E=mc^2 is found in everything, semi conductor and devices are based on it and we are communicating via computers/cables etc.
