Bosons
libfemme ( 12/28/2004, 13:20:48 )Explaining bosons is out of my field, but why should that stop me. Realize that the way you phrase the question you ask colors the answer you get.For instance, the reason people believe there is a God is because they start by asking "why" askings. Why is the sky blue. Why did the meteor fall from the sky? Why in our language implies intention. And in order for there to be intention there must be some sort of animate object doing the intenting,hence you come to the conclusion "god". But you get to that conclusion because you start from the wrong premise, "why". In other words you are already assuming there is a purpose in the very act of chosing your sentence.If on the other hand you begin a question with "how" you usually end up with a scientific explanation. How does the sky reflect blue? How does the meteor fall to earth? You are no longer assuming purpose, you've just assuming a description.Use logic: if something exists it must be somewhere, it cannot be nowhere. Yes that would follow logically if your definition of "somewhere" only includes 4 dimensions. But note space is usually thought of in 3 dimensions, height, width and depth. And it is not logical for two things to occupy the same space. However, if you include the dimension of time, then you can conceive of 2 things occupying the same space, just at different times.I am using that as an example to show how get locked into "common sense" works well for everyday life but not when considering the cosmos. Just as Newtonian physics is great for engineering purposes but doesn't explain Relativity when you to bigger and further away in space and time objects.Everything has to be somewhere...well...yeah..but are we sure what somewhere is just yet?Here's one 1-page explanation of bosons: In the mathematics of quantum mechanics describing creation and annihilation of elementary particles, as observed at accelerators, particles at particular points arise from "fields" spread over space and time. Higgs found that parameters in the equations for the field associated with the particle H can be chosen in such a way that the lowest energy state of that field (empty space) is one with the field not zero. It is surprising that the field is not zero in empty space, but the result, not an obvious one, is: all particles that can interact with H gain mass from the interaction. By Mary and Ian Butterworth, Imperial College London, and Doris and Vigdor Teplitz, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, USA. You are right that we have to have some way to know something is there. But it's not clear that space has to be one of them. We know gravity is a force. It is real. But it obviously occupies the same space as you and I do because it attracts the moon too.
