Traveler Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 We'll end up finding that there is some more even tinier particle which happens to be what mass really ties into.Hmmmm. I find this statement interesting. For some reason that no one can explain - when a Higgs boson is bonded to another "particle" - which of necessity of bonding will create quantum integer spin --> resulting in a fermion particle that will take on the properties of mass. The stronger the bonding the greater the mass the particle will have. But what is odd is that the Higgs boson by itself will never take on any mass properties. So in essence it is not elementary particles that acquire mass.One of the theories of the standard model of quantum particles is what is called super symmetry. This theory predicts that there are 4 other boson particles related to the Higgs boson that play much the same role as the 4 boson particles associated with the strong and weak atomic forces. Next year the particle accelerator where the Higgs particle may have been discovered will increase in power by about 3/4ths. Hopefully we will discover even more and be able to further identify the Higgs boson. But we will likely have to spend more and need to build a much more powerful particle accelerator (maybe of magnitude 10) to get to the next threshold of discovery.The Traveler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
