Descoperirea bosonului Higgs - principala descoperire ştiinţifică a anului 2012

[Ciprian Mustiata]

Stiinta la superlativ! Multumesc de link, mai ales articolul de pe ScienceMag este foarte detaliat si bine documentat. Si apoi arata atat puterea stiintei (in a prezice) cat si capacitatea de a demonstra lucruri ce erau de neimaginat doar 100 de ani inainte.

Cel mai mult mi-a placut acest citat:

The standard model ultimately owes its predictive power to the fact that the theory is based on the notion of mathematical symmetry, some theorists say. Each of the three forces in the standard model is related to and, in some sense, necessitated by a different symmetry. The Higgs mechanism itself was invented to preserve such symmetry while giving mass to force-carrying particles like the W and the Z. Simply put, symmetry arguments are powerful predictive tools.

Abia astept sa vad descoperirea 2013!
