More about what the Universe is ( one of Antonie’s Big Questions)

In order to understand what the universe is, we need to know a bit about Quantum Physics and its last discoveries.

We learned that elementary particles like quarks and electrons are the foundation upon which all matter in the universe is built. We know how these particles interact but we didn’t know how they were getting their mass.

The experts believe the  Higgs boson gives the particles mass and fills in one of the key holes in modern physics.

“The Higgs boson is the last missing piece of our current understanding of the most fundamental nature of the universe,” Martin Archer, a physicist at Imperial College in London

See this drawing = wonderful analogy and explanation

The 2013 Physics Nobel Prize has been awarded to two physicists (François Englert -Universite Libre de Bruxelles- and Peter Higgs -University of Edinburgh) who  developed the theory that helps explain the origin of mass of elementary particles :

and predicts the existence of the Higgs Boson ( so called ” God particle” -It’s nothing to do with religion — the only  similarity is you’re seeing something that’s a field that’s everywhere, in all spaces.).

No Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning

I challenge you with this new Physics theory about the Universe !

Universe or Multiverse?   Quantum Physics conducts today to something a bit different than one/classical Big Bang theory -as we know it from school.

I recommend you the book : Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang by Paul J. Steinhardt  and Neil Turok

The Theory of Everything  is closer to the Parallel Universes Theory:

Trends in Education

Click here to read about one of the most radical reforms ever undertaken by a nation state

The author of the article above -published by the British publication “The independent” –  is asking if this education reforms catch on in the UK. I would ask when it will catch on in our country.

What do you think about it. Please, leave your comments.
