The link below shows a young physicist standing with a
blackboard behind him. The physicist
himself is extraordinarily photogenic – he looks like comedian Jim Carrey’s
very handsome kid brother. And the
equations on the blackboard are Byzantine and incomprehensible. But what he proposes in the article is
important and astonishing.
What this physicist, Mads Toudal Frandsen of the Southern
Denmark University, is proposing (along with his team) is that the particles found with the Cern LHC collider
are very possibly new and different
particles rather than Higgs boson particles that confirm the “standard
theory.”
From the linked article:
“The Higgs particle is the missing piece in the theory called the
Standard Model. This theory describes three of the four forces of nature. But
it does not explain what dark matter is - the substance that makes up most of
the universe. A techni-higgs particle, if it exists, is a completely different
thing:
"A techni-higgs particle is not an elementary particle. Instead, it
consists of so-called techni-quarks, which we believe are elementary.
Techni-quarks may bind together in various ways to form for instance
techni-higgs particles, while other combinations may form dark matter. We therefore expect to find several
different particles at the LHC, all built by techni-quarks”, says Mads
Toudal Frandsen.
