Higgs Boson and its importance

-


The Higgs boson particle can be argued as one of the most phenomenal discoveries in this 21st century. A particle which was previously theorized to exist, Mr. Peter Higgs proposed this idea that universe has Higgs Boson stuck everywhere that was already like 50 years ago but scientifically discovered in March 14 2013. The search for this particle was inspired by some fundamental questions in particle physics; such as why certain particles have mass when the symmetries controlling their interactions should be massless. 


For more than 40years, scientists have searched and experimented to uncover this elusive phenomenon and the particle which may have induced mass in these molecules. This prolonged and frustrating search would lend the name 'Goddamn particle' to the Higgs Boson particle which is now shortened and called the 'God particle' after its discovery.

The Higgs Boson particle is named after Peter Higgs, one of the 6 scientists who hypothesized the existence of such particle. In 2013, Peter Higgs and Francois Englert were awarded a Nobel price for their discovery (both published scientific papers on this particle). The discovery of this particle fills gaps in knowledge on the standard model of particle physics and explains other theories within particle physics.

The immense breakthrough of discovery already has such positive impact in our world today. The Large Hadron Collider laboratory that's in international research center called CERN which is on a border between Switzerland and France is one of the world's biggest and most expensive experimental facilities, which creates the Higgs boson particle and other particles for study. Higgs boson particle will redefine our knowledge of matter and force fields. This new portal of knowledge is expected to lead to other discoveries and establishment of new scientific principles that will redefine our world, our existence and the interplanetary cosmos.

Challenging obstacles for immigrants

-
Image
Many people immigrate every year, towards developed country (USA, Canada, Australia, UK etc.)   to get a better life. As a highly developed country, they can be the best choice for the immigrants from all around the world and can offer a high standard life to them. However, immigrants face various difficulties during the first years of their entrance in to the developed country . Language barrier, finding a job and the cultural differences are the most common challenges.  Language barrier is the first challenge for the immigrants. It will be very hard for them to communicate with others. Even though most of immigrants spend lots of time and money to learn English before moving to developed country, it will not be very easy for them to use their language skills in every day’s life. Since developed country, has a divers population, it will be hard for the immigrants to understand the different accents of native speakers. Also it takes a long time to learn all th...

What is Linux Shell?

  What is Linux Shell? In Linux and Unix, a shell refers to a program that is used to interpret the typed commands the user sends to the operating system.  The closest analogy in windows is  MS-DOS, Shell name is COMMAND.COM which is also used for same purpose, but it's not as powerful as our Linux Shells are! Computer understand the language of 0's and 1's called binary language. In early days of computing, instruction are provided using binary language, which is difficult for all of us, to read and write. So in OS there is special program called Shell. Shell accepts your instruction or commands in English (mostly) and if its a valid command, it is pass to kernel.   Shell is a user program or it's environment provided for user interaction. Shell is an command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input device (keyboard) or from a file. Shell is not part of system kernel, but uses the system kernel to execute pr...

Permission and Ownership using awk

Awk programming The easiest way to learn the awk command usage is to see them in action. In order to find the working directory we are in . Type pwd ( "print working directory" ) Then type ls ( listing)for listing to see what's in the current directory $ ls Permissions and Ownership List directories and files ls -al # shows something like this for each file/dir: drwxrwxrwx # d: directory # rwx: read write execute # first triplet: user permissions (u) # second triplet: group permissions (g) # third triplet: world permissions (o)     It shows like this when we type   $ls -al   drwxr-xr-x 2 prakash prakash 4096 Oct 27 03:56 Videos drwxr-xr-x 2 prakash prakash 4096 Nov 18 10:19 .vim -rw------- 1 prakash prakash 11158 Dec 16 18:54 .viminfo -rw------- 1 prakash prakash 124 Dec 16 18:11 .Xauthority -rw------- 1 prakash prakash 82 Dec 16 18:11 .xsession-errors Assign write and execute permission...
