Higgs Boson

Post by Silvertusk »

So they believe that have found it now - what next?

They are now wondering how the Higgs Boson gets its mass now - seems like an infinite regression things starting up here. My Dad mentioned that this supports the possibility of bouncing universes or the multiverse - how exactly? I thought this just provides more evidence for the Standard Model.

Is the Standard Model just Big Bang Theory or is there a lot more to it than that?

Even if it did prove that what does it really prove, that heaven and hell actually exist? :ewink:


Dan
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

What do you mean by 'this' in both sentences?
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

The discovery of the Higgs Boson. I looked up the standard model on Wikipedia and my head just exploded.

I first thought that you are talking about cosmological Standard Model since you were mentioning the Big Bang. Do not confuse cosmological Standard Model with Standard Model in particle physics.
You ask what next. Next is to find out which Higgs boson it is, is it e.g. Higgs boson from supersymmetry or is it really Standard Model Higgs boson?
I cannot answer your question about multiverse at the moment, but will look into it.

I did not manage to find about Higgs existence supporting "the possibility of bouncing universes or the multiverse". Where did your dad read that?
