As the Simpsons predicted the “particle of God” before the scientists in real life

Episode “Simpsons” “Evergreen Terrace” (September 20, 1998) finds Homer (Formerly) becoming a negative of the lack of serious achievements in his life. Seeking the meaning of its existence in the library, Homer comes across the biography (emerge) of Thomas Edison, and he is inspired. Homer leaves the job to become an inventor using Edison’s inventions to evaluate his own success.

Homer’s inventions may be predictable, scary. For example, it eliminates a gun that can explode directly on the person’s face. It invents a light chair with a installed toilet designed for people who are lazy to rise during their favorite TV shows. Homer perceives his inventions very seriously, but he can’t invent anything practical.

During one of his inventions, Homer writes advanced calculations on the board, shocking activity for someone as mute as Homer, and a useless endeavor, seeing he comes up with toilets and rifles. The equations were all as mathematical fools could tell you the actual advanced equations removed from the professors in real life that contacted Writer of the series (and owner of the degree in both computer science and physics) David X. Cohen. “Simpsons”, to a great extent, thanks to Cohen, received a lot of her mathematics, and Cohen transferred her mathematical and engineering documents to “Futurama”, which he and the Simpsons, which was created by the Greening Murus.

As it happens, one of the random equations on Homer’s board was the calculation that, when he conducted, gave a lot of boss Higgs, or “a particle of God”, which made it possible for stars, planets and life. According to Dr. Simon Singh’s book “Simpsons and their mathematical secrets” The mass calculation was surprisingly accurate for the cartoon. It was strange, however, that Homer recorded this equation in 1998, and Bono Higga was not observed for the first time until an experiment conducted in 2012.

For those who do not know what Higgs Boson is, here is (very short) primer explained by those who are definitely a non -professional (that is: yours really). The Higgs field, essentially a force in the physics of particles that prevents massive particles (that is: any particle that has mass) at the fastener at the speed of light. Because poetic metaphors help in describing advanced physics, the hijs field is similar to the “syrup”, which forced the particles to slow down and obey the border of the speed (that is: under the speed of light). My metaphor syrup comes from writer Andrew Smith, who also tried to explain the phenomenon On the Hubpages site. Higgs’ field slows down any particles that have the mass. Particles that do not have masses can fasten as fast as light, free and unobstructed.

Bizona is a fast -moving particle that runs through other cluster particles that were “slowed down” by the Higgo field. It is a particle that gives the mass to other particles, and its existence was confirmed by the standard model of particle physics. It was so fundamentally for the model that it sometimes has the nickname of God. If you want to know more, you may have to contact the actual particle physicist.

Unprofessional tin Tell me, however, that in 1964, Bono was theorized by Peter Higga as a potential explanation for why certain particles get mass. However, the particle remained theoretical, because it was not possible to observe it. That would be before 2012 and A series of experiments with the big CALDON’s CERN CERN in SwitzerlandWhat physicists could for the first time create and record a mass of bizon. It turns out that Higga’s theory was correct.

But Homer Simpson beat these Eggeds in the thorns.

The fact that Homer’s equations were several accurate, probably the result of real theories traded by particle and mathematics physicists in 1998. Bozon Higgs’ secret was well known in this area, and probably David X. Cohen contacted people (unfortunately, their names were not revealed) who worked on the problem. In his book, Dr. Singh expressed his surprise:

“This equation predicts the mass of the Bozon Higgs.

To record the mass of the bizon Higgs is 125.11 ± 0.11 GEV/C². You know, if it comes to “Danger!”

Since so many physicists and mathematicians wrote for “Simpsons” (and later, “Futurama”), many articles are written about the love of sciences. Dr. Singh not only wrote a whole book on this topic, but can also be found There is no disadvantage Internet Narissa and other tamans Honoring this love. “Simpsons” and “Futurama” can be the most reasonable “dumb”. If you don’t know physics you will laugh. If you know a lot of physics, you will growl.
