År 2012 formulerade fysikern Peter W. Higgs en teori om elementarpartiklar som kan skapas ur tomma intet. Om dessa partiklar utsätts för extremt höga hastigheter uppstår det friktion som tvingar fram en ny partikel, en så kallad Higgsboson. Utifrån två elementarpartiklar kan man skapa en ny massa, materia, som inte fanns där från början. Higgsbosonsteorin fick inom media och populärkulturen smeknaIn 2012 physicist Peter W. Higgins formulated a theory about elementary particles that can be created out of nothing. If these particles are exposed to extremely high speeds, friction arises which forces a new particle to form, a so-called Higgs boson. Based on two elementary particles, you can create a new mass; matter which was not there from the beginning. In the media, the Higgs boson was nick
