  • Matter and antimatter are proposed to collide and convert into energy as described by Einstein's famous equation E=mc2.
  • Particles with more energy have greater interactions with the Higgs field, resulting in larger masses.
  • The Higgs field permeates all space, giving particles mass as they move through it.
  • The Higgs boson is the only elementary particle that has been directly observed.
  • Dark matter makes up about 85% of all matter in the universe but has not been directly observed or detected.
  • The Higgs boson is responsible for giving particles mass through its interaction with them.
  • The LHC has detected evidence supporting the existence of the Higgs boson.
  • Higgs bosons can be produced at high-energy accelerators like CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
  • Proton decay has not been observed yet, but scientists continue to search for evidence.
  • Quarks are fundamental building blocks of matter, forming protons and neutrons.
  • When two protons collide at very high speeds, they produce many other particles including W and Z bosons, which then decay into electrons or muons.
  • quantum electrodynamics
  • strong nuclear force
  • electromagnetic force
  • The Higgs Boson is the only elementary particle that gives mass to all other particles.
