Forces such as electromagnetism are carried by bosons. Physicists use electromagnetic \u00ef\u00ac\u0081elds to whip beams of protons around and around, accelerating them to nearly the speed of light. This gives the protons enormous kinetic energy. Finally the beams are allowed to intersect, and where protons collide, their energy is released. New particles \u00e2\u20ac\u201c some of them very short-lived \u00e2\u20ac\u201c are formed from this energy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Standard Model\" src=\"http:\/\/i.livescience.com\/images\/i\/15889\/i02\/standard-model-physics-particles-infographic-110406g-02.jpg?1302199371\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"830\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As Albert Einstein discovered, mass can be de\u00ef\u00ac\u0081ned as a quantity of energy. Subatomic particle masses are given as amounts of electron volts (the energy of a single electron accelerated by a potential difference of one volt). The newly discovered particle &#8211; possibly the Higgs boson \u00e2\u20ac\u201c is found to have a mass of about 125 billion electron volts. Other particles, such as photons, have no mass at all. via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/21413-higgs-boson-explained.html\">Higgs Boson Particle Explained (Infographic) | God Particle Physics | LiveScience<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><code><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w9pj3fiZGNE\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Higgs Boson Explained from PHD Comics on Vimeo.
