...would simply fall apart. "This provides a sense of relief," says TIME senior science writer Michael Lemonick, who notes that the top quark completes a set of six oddly-named particles that account for the atom. But there's more: now scientists are free to chase the elusive "Higgs boson," to "answer the question most of us didn't think needed to be answered -- why all the other particles have any mass...
...findings allow physicists to embrace a whole range of new initiatives including the calculation of the mass of another theoretical particle, the Higgs boson, said Franklin...
...mass of the boson is vitally important for physicists to develop a grand unifying theory linking together the four fundamental forces of nature: strong weak, gravitational and electromagnetic...
...finding could also be helpful incalculating the mass of another theoreticalparticle, called the Higgs boson. Understandingthe Higgs boson, Franklin said, is critical indeveloping a grand unifying theory linkingtogether the four fundamental forces of nature:strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravitational...
...particle sub-units, for instance, may lead to important new discoveries. The Goldstone Boson, Georgi says, is an "entirely new form of matter, because it is unlike anything else that we have seen...
