[SCI-TALK] Higgs Boson Particle

[odah]

Ahhhh, the Higgs Boson Particle. Science has :facewall: over this sub-atomic particle* since the 1980s. Yesterday, on July 4th, the CERN LHC (Large Hadron Collider) in Geneva (sorry fellow Americans) replicated the Higgs Boson Particle. I won't go into details about it or how it was done. For this week's SCI-TALK, i propose my following video and a question:

Can the Higgs Boson Particle create a life-time supply of energy?

More information and links for research are available in the description of my video.

Just minor nitpicking...the Higgs Boson isn't an atom, its a sub-atomic particle.

I don't believe i stated it was an atom, did i? I hope not lol

EDIT: Woops i did in the post above, thats what happens when i post at 10 o'clock haha

i think it will be an awesome break through that will provide alternatives to alot of things if we can figure out how to utilize it.

Can someone explain to me what the Higgs Boson Particle is? I've heard a lot about it recently but I have no idea what it is.

In short:
The Higgs Boson Particle is a part of the Standard Model. Its recent 'tentative' discovery will prove the theory correct.
The name consists of two items. A "Higgs field" is basically a force field that contains the Boson particle. HBP gives other particles mass, ie the Big Bang Theory.

The best way to learn about the Higgs Boson is through the MinutePhysics videos:

Well that explains alot i had no idea what you guys were talking about

If this finding can be confirmed, the proving of Higgs' theory will be a fantastic development in particle physics. Hopefully, scientists will be able to reproduce these results.
