Bryan R. Delgado Ruiz: God Particle

This first course of Physics is about studying diverse types of forces. Everybody on Earth uses and manage them every single day of their lives, although not everybody know them as well. These forces are: normal force, tension, weigh, friction, elastic and inelastic force. But even though this sounds very hard to understand, we can say that forces are results of four fundamental interactions. Numerous scientists had tried to fuse all this four elemental interactions in a single theory; trying to put together: the weak and strong nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetic force. 

All of these forces have a very long range, except for the weak nuclear force. By the way, the refereeing particles are the bosons W and Z. Bosons are the smallest form that matter can actually decomposes. These minuscule particles can arrange energy and are very significant in quantum mechanics’ field. Peter Higgs and his coworkers uncovered the Higgs Mechanism in 1964. This theory is about explaining the origin of the elemental particles’ mass. This particle has no color and even has no electric charge or spin and because of these, the particle cannot interact with any photon. Nevertheless, with particles from the Model of Physics which have mass as: charge leptons, quarks and bosons W and Z that are relatively heavy, it has the possibility to interact. 

The discovery of this boson will be a very controversial explanation to the origin of the Universe; and this particle is popularly known as the God Particle. In March 14, 2013 the existence of this elemental particle was partially confirmed. At the moment, some data have to be amended because of the complexity and very high speed of proceedings, the Higg’s boson interacts in zepto seconds: 10-24 s. This makes the procedure of measuring the mass of the Higg’s boson a very difficult one. Likewise, the parameters that depend of it as: the force required for two bosons to interact between them and the half-life of the particle. With the discovery of this particle, the World as we know it and its origin will be exposed after thousands of years and it will probably set a very big intrapersonal and interpersonal conflict.

On the other hand, Higgs said, “…this does not explain everything.”, however, it will open path to new investigations about the origin of the Universe. So indeed, every fundamental force was present in the development of the Universe. Every single day of our lives can be explain in terms of all these forces which makes our Universe the one we know and the one we live.

Saúl Ruiz Roldan: Physics in lifestyle

Physics is more than just a science. Physics is defined as the science that studies the properties of matter and energy, considering only able to measure the attributes. Today everything is ruled by physics, so that science is used daily by each and every one of the human beings as well as for every living being. Thanks to the great physicists we have had great technological advances like many advances in studies on everything involving the unknown. Humanity has had great scientists as are Newton, who discovered the law of gravity, Einstein, which stipulates the theory of relativity, and many other great scientists who have helped to understand the mysteries of nature within and outside our planet.

Every action, movement or reaction, involves the physics, from the simplest to the most complex. On a walk, throw a ball into the air, accelerating a vehicle and even a tiny particle react, involve careful studies which are viewed or studied in labs every day. So us are involved in daily physical? The answer is simple and is answered as follows; each of the discoveries made during the course of human life on this planet, were always present, only the technology of our ancestors did not allow them to make significant progress in a short time. Therefore, everyone is always using the concepts of physics although does not know the science. Thus the question about physics in our daily lives is answered. For years we have had the most brilliant minds of this planet to the constant discovery of innovative and useful things to stimulate progress to the things which we have come. Some of the best minds on the planet were: Albert Einstein, Newton, Galileo, Pythagoras and today Stephen Hawking who has contributed greatly to studies regarding black holes and cosmology.

At one time in history, the sciences were the subject of punishment and oppression, and studies were censored in a way which caused a delay in technological advances. With the opening to free inquiry a thought about inventions, which was concerning to say that everything was discovered and there was nothing they had discovered. Hundreds of years later have come to have a number of technologies that have ever dreamed. These advances were made by great physicists and scientists who have us left a more comfortable lifestyle to live as light technology, transportation, and communication. The question is this, everything is already discovered, or are things to discover? Let that answer in the hands of physicians and scientists of today, who are experts at making new discoveries and putting them in the hands of humanity.

Physics is certainly one of the most important and influential science today, and its uses concepts we put into practice every day since we got up in the morning until we go to bed at night. Physical, rather than a matter of education, it is a lifestyle that with the passing of time have become part of us as people, and therefore is considered one of the most important sciences today.
