What is this world we live in?
What does it all mean?
The search for the most fundamental particles goes on forever. The latest discovery, maybe is the Higgs-Boson particle. So small to find it needs masses of energy to find it, and "see" it. Yet we do not actually see. We see the effect it creates in a special tank where the particles collide.
Yet according to a recent issue of New Scientist, it may be possible to find smaller particles than the Higgs-Boson!!!
Smaller and smaller the particles will be found, and in order to find them we will need to find more and more energy to do the work.
Is it possible that in the future we will need the power of a hydrogen fusion fueled power source to create the energy needed to find the smallest particles that exist??
Maybe a good question, and maybe not.
On the TV some people have got excited that the Higgs-Boson has been found, yet the man who postulated its existence was a bit flustered that he could not see its application, yet on the ABC in Australia Dr Carl postulated the possibility that inertia-less flight could be achieved if it was possible to remove the mass from structure. Thus we would be able to build ship like objects that would be quite huge and would have zero mass, as we could control the mass.
Which brings me back to an earlier discussion point. The creation of an object with no mass also opens up the possibility of speed of light travel. With no mass and according to E=mc^2. Well is there is no mass then it is quite possible to speed an object up to the speed of light with the use of little or no energy with no relative increase in mass.
What an interesting thought!!!
