Two leading physicists discuss the importance of the Higgs Boson, the future of particle physics, and the mysteries of the universe yet to be unraveled. On July 4, 2012, the long-sought Higgs Boson--aka "the God Particle"--was discovered at the world's largest particle accelerator, the LHC, in Geneva, Switzerland. On March 14, 2013, physicists at CERN confirmed it. This elusive subatomic particle forms a field that permeates the entire universe, creating the masses of the elementary particles that are the basic building blocks of everything in the known world--from viruses to elephants, from atoms to quasars. Starting where Nobel Laureate Leon Lederman's bestseller The God Particle left off, this incisive new book explains what's next. Lederman and Hill discuss key questions that will occupy physicists for years to come:* Why were scientists convinced that something like the "God Particle" had to exist?* What new particles, forces, and laws of physics lie beyond the "God Particle"?* What powerful new accelerators are now needed for the US to recapture a leadership role in science and to reach "beyond the God Particle," such as Fermilab's planned Project-X and the Muon Collider? Using thoughtful, witty, everyday language, the authors show how all of these intriguing questions are leading scientists ever deeper into the fabric of nature. Readers of The God Particle will not want to miss this important sequel.

Law is Law. It never deviates, works for all, is always working. It is Principle. It is constant and steady. In each person's life there are two worlds - the objective and subjective world. The only Law in the objective world is change. Everything changes all the time. There are 12 Laws that govern the subjective world and in turn these Laws govern the objective world around you. This book is about ancient knowledge - Gnosis. These Laws were written down according to the culture of the writer at the time it was written. They have been represented in various ways - the 12 constellations of the Zodiac, the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 disciples of Jesus, 12 gems on Aaron's breastplate, 12 fruits of the Tree of Life, the 12 sons of Odin, the 12 disciples of Mithras, the 12 Sibylline Oracles, the twelve Olympians/Titans. the 12 Imams, 12 Knights of the Round Table to name just a few. All the ancient texts, stories, statues, temple complexes tell the same tale. We all say I AM and each one of us is operating these Laws. They are Laws/Principle. They are always working, never deviate and work for all. They are the one constant that never changes and explains why in the physical objective world the only constant is change. Change yourself and you literally change the world around you. It all comes from within and is projected out. We all do it all the time - unconsciously. Learn the Laws of Mind and use them consciously and you will live happily ever after.It's LAW.

A fascinating tour of particle physics from Nobel Prize winner Leon Lederman. At the root of particle physics is an invincible sense of curiosity. Leon Lederman embraces this spirit of inquiry as he moves from the Greeks' earliest scientific observations to Einstein and beyond to chart this unique arm of scientific study. His survey concludes with the Higgs boson, nicknamed the God Particle, which scientists hypothesize will help unlock the last secrets of the subatomic universe, quarks and all--it's the dogged pursuit of this almost mystical entity that inspires Lederman's witty and accessible history.

The Higgs Boson: Searching for the God Particle by the Editors of Scientific American Updated 2017 Edition! For the fifth anniversary of one of the biggest discoveries in physics, we’ve updated this eBook to include our continuing analysis of the discovery, of the questions it answers and those it raises. As the old adage goes, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Where there is effect, there must be cause. The planet Neptune was found in 1846 because the mathematics of Newton's laws, when applied to the orbit of Uranus, said some massive body had to be there. Astronomers eventually found it, using the best telescopes available to peer into the sky. This same logic is applied to the search for the Higgs boson. One consequence of the prevailing theory of physics, called the Standard Model, is that there has to be some field that gives particles their particular masses. With that there has to be a corresponding particle, made by creating waves in the field, and this is the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle. This eBook chronicles the search – and demonstrates the power of a good theory. Based on the Standard Model, physicists believed something had to be there, but it wasn't until the Large Hadron Collider was built that anyone could see evidence of the Higgs – and finally in July 2012, they did. A Higgs-like particle was found near the energies scientists expected to find it. Now, armed with better evidence and better questions, the scientific process continues. This eBook gathers the best reporting and analysis from Scientific American to explain that process – the theories, the search, the ongoing questions. In essence, everything you need to know to separate Higgs from hype.

This book examines the most cutting-edge scientific discoveries of our time, including the confirmation of the Higgs boson particle (or field) which has been described as more notable and important than Einsteins Theory of Relativity. The Higgs boson discovery highlights that entity, also referred to as the God Particle, which controls roving particles of energy to become the building blocks of the atom by forming the neutrons, electrons, protons and other components of the atoms which collect to become everything in existence. Our first impulse tends to be that all of this is too difficult to understand, but its not. While scientists now confess bewilderment at what they are discovering, they confirm that it is all true. This book assembles and provides to the average reader these mindboggling discoveries in a manner that allows them to come to know and understand the process of creation of all things, including humans. This pursuit was undertaken by the author acting as investigator and examiner of the evidence presented by scientists. This leads the reader to a conclusion as to whether or not the apparent instructions imbedded into the Higgs boson particle, and the atoms it creates, along with all matter coming into existence, are the products of intelligent design or, on the other hand, occur by accident (Big Bang). Readers are informed and highly enlightened regarding the components and workings of the universe, Earth and human origins.
