In the strange world of quantum physics, the Higgs boson particle that Peter Higgs theorized in 1966 endows basic elements in the universe with mass. A professor of applied physics at Caltech, he can use the amplifier to measure the behavior of tiny mechanical devices that operate at the boundary between classical physics and the strange world of quantum mechanics. This is how we discovered the totally unexpected and strange world of quantum mechanics. Without it, everything would zip around at the speed of light. Physics World's podcast team discusses the enduring appeal of quantum mechanics. The Quantum Workshops mission statement is: Why isn't the world more weird? But while the ideas of quantum physics are challenging and notoriously weird, they seem to capture the public imagination and hold an enduring appeal. Anyone who writes about the weird stuff that happens in this world has to, at some point, tackle two topics: Bigfoot, and the Bermuda Triangle. This seems to be a confirmation of the discovery of several months ago. Evidence of this comes in part from the numerous popular-science books This episode in the Physics World books podcast series looks at the popularity of quantum mechanics in science writing. The particle was predicted mathematically decades ago but the technology did not exist to actually discover it. The Quantum Theory: This theory claims that the answers may lie in a world we are as of yet very ill-equipped to prove, in the wonderfully strange world of quantum mechanics. Two aspects are especially weird and often attract the attention of people interested in spiritual possibilities. Bermuda_Triangle Well, it was inevitable. The world of quantum mechanics is strange to everyone when first encountered.
