Oct 8, 2024 · Salam's notable achievements include the Pati–Salam model, magnetic photon, vector meson, Grand Unified Theory, work on supersymmetry and, most importantly, electroweak theory, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize. [8] Salam made a major contribution in quantum field theory and in the advancement of Mathematics at Imperial ...
4 days ago · The diagram shows the elementary particles of the Standard Model (the Higgs boson, the three generations of quarks and leptons, and the gauge bosons), including their names, masses, spins, charges, chiralities, and interactions with the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces.
3 days ago · Overcoming Attachment to “Distorted/False Saññā” Leads to Nibbāna. Saññā has two components: one is recognizing “things in the world,” but the other is presenting a “made-up” sense of attractiveness or repulsiveness of things in the world.
2 days ago · [103] [104] [105] Physicists continue to hypothesize grand unified theories that connect these four gauge bosons with the eight gluon gauge bosons of quantum chromodynamics; however, key predictions of these theories, such as proton decay, have not been observed experimentally.
5 days ago · Together, Dollard and Miller tried to develop a theory that would encompass psychodynamic theory, learning theory, and the influence of sociocultural factors. Their effort to develop what might be called a unified theory of personality stands in stark contrast to the constraints of radical behaviorism.
4 days ago · Gaia hypothesis, model of the Earth in which its living and nonliving parts are viewed as a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism. Developed c. 1972 largely by British chemist James E. Lovelock and U.S. biologist Lynn Margulis, the Gaia hypothesis is named for the Greek Earth goddess.
4 days ago · The experiments conducted underground in Italy provided the best limits on the density of Grand Unified magnetic monopoles and some of the key evidence that neutrinos have mass. Barish became Principal Investigator of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) project in 1994 and served as Director of the LIGO ...
2 days ago · The emergence of the Hohenzollerns of Prussia as rivals of the Habsburgs and the beginning of the Austro-Prussian dualism created the possibility of reversing the process of civic decentralization that had prevailed in Germany since the late Middle Ages.
