The field he proposed extends throughout the universe, and interacts with matter particles in such a way as to give them mass. Higgs was born in Newcastle

It creates weight by interacting with other particles; the more it interacts, the heavier it is. We have a tendency to consider mass as ingrained  importance of all things, however the majority of  physicists consider that without the Higgs boson, mass fundamentally doesn’t exist. Without the higgs boson nothing would exist, this is due to the

    Once a simple toy, yo-yo’s have evolved into more complex designs and materials in order to increase playability and spinning time. In the most basic idea, yo-yo’s can be classified into three distinct shapes, each having further subcategories Within the 1A division (manipulation of the string using one yo-yo), the butterfly is the most common shape, with three further shapes within the butterfly. The butterfly shape has three main shapes, being the H shaped, V shaped, and O (organic shaped). Each

    know and interact with every day. The leading candidates for dark matter are MACHOs and WIMPS. Gravitational lensing is one of the ways we can infer the presence dark matter, since we cannot see it directly. With the discovery of dark matter, the standard model of physics no longer answers all the questions. For that, we need another model, called supersymmetry. Dark matter

    Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and climatic model (CLM 4.5) outputs were conducted over the southern part of the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) (area: 835 × 103 km2) in Sudan and Chad to estimate the natural recharge rate. The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) is shared by Egypt, Libya, Chad, and Sudan, and is one of the largest (area: ~ 2 × 106 km2) groundwater systems in the world. Findings from the study include: (1) average annual precipitation was estimated at 77
