What new technologies will the Higgs bring about?

J.J. Thomson discovered the Electron in 1897; it took the next 50 to 100 years for humanity to understand the potential of that subatomic particular and build our electrified and computerized world of today. Technology we take for granted now wasn't even "science fiction" for most people when Tomson made his discovery playing around with electricity in his lab.

Its been ten years since the LHC at cern proved the existence of the Higgs Boson/Field and theorists have been assuming its existence long before that.

It is believed that the Higgs is responsible for creating mass when other particles interact with it.

What new and unimaginable (befor now) technologies will we have over the next 40 to 90 years due to use of the Higg?

Perhaps the answer lies in the ancient past?

Maybe zero mass, which will open a lot of new avenues?

It is probably under construction as we speak, but as all the funding for real life appliances with cutting edge technology is MIC, you will only know about them when the SHTF.

Can anyone describe what this Higgs theory is about, getting a bit slow in the head these days. Seen some fancy functions and wave bla bla. As for trying to picture how this theory of mass integrates with the rest of the sub atomic world is hazy. Einstein came up with something about energy?

What I understand of E=MC^2 is that energy equals mass accelerating at the speed of light. Does my head in knowing what that means,

Admittedly, I don't know anything about the Higgs Boson, but your OP got me wondering if anyone was working on that at the moment. My first thought was that any practice applications would come from scientists trying to enhance weapons systems, or improve air or space flight.

A quick search and I stumbled on this blog which happened to ask the same question.
www.preposterousuniverse.com...

Interesting, it only took until the third comment before suggestions for better nuke's started to show up.

I agree; MIC applications will go first, might already be outthere.

I don't know that we would need to.wait for a SHTF moment to see the new tech. The MIC roled out the selth tech as a show of force in the first Iraq war when it wasn't really needed against the inferior enemy.

And there is those who will want to move the MIC tech to the private sector to make more money.

So that's why they call it re search!

It is "believed" that the Higgs is responsible for creating mass when other particles interact with it.

It will bring hope just as any cult offers to bring... there is always another level the trick is not missing out on the beauty of the current level which one resides, therefore choose life.

You can probably use Higgs technology to shrink objects mass signatures so when traveling really fast FTLs you manipulate space matter around the object or craft so the craft can keep continuous or accelerated speeds without producing drag to slow down the object or craft. You generate a quantum field around object or craft in theory.

It's a revelation, there is no real precise way to explain what it means.

It takes a little work a little math and a ton of insight...

It's heavy stuff though, hardcore, better get started.

What?

Space travel would be a new world that Higgs technology would open to humanity.

Even going to the moon in any meaningful way is a large endeavor do to the mass of the craft and fule needed. Going mars even as a one off will require constructing the craft in space in some way because lift off from earth would require to much fule due to mass of the craft.

If Higgs technology could lower the mass signature of a craft, lift off fron eather would be much easier and so to get to the moon, mars, other planets and even other points on earth would be faster and cheaper.

eh... are you serious?

in short...

QM has been bringing us "hope" in the form of hoping for the technology it will bring for 100 years now. We have a lot of big brains on the planet now compared to Einsteins day.

The next level down if we somehow can figure it out how create "matter from nothing" out of the Higgs and then make a Quantum spaceship vehicle out of that say, then guess what...?

Surprise there's another level below that, and what is its (higgs) equivalent? when we give that a name down there on level 3 we will have "hope" for what technology it will bring too.

it goes on and on

What's kind of ironic is that we must go larger and larger (eg LHC to the FCC and beyond) to go smaller and smaller.

As the Higgs is related to mass and mass is related to gravity perhaps it could lead us toward anti gravity propulsion.

a reply to: gortex

We had hope for what at the time was simply referred to as atomics, it brought us a lot of interesting things and advances but it also brought us one heck of a devastating thing (the Bomb)

Level 2 will be the same but the equivalent undesirable thing it'll bring will be more akin to a Thanos snap of the fingers, it will be much more efficient and devastating beyond belief.

We will have "the snap" first though guaranteed, that's how new advances always come about, history has taught us that.

We could already be down on Level 2 and the powerbrokers of the world might be snapping us in and out of existence right now, who really knows hehe.

the snap is a metaphor btw

Makes a little sense actually, why else would we suspect multi universes exist or that nothing actually exists too? nothing exists because that where you came from, nowhere/non-existence... some may find that more appealing than dirt

Great topic.

Higgs Boson being discovered was amazing. I personally doubted it. Thought it was contrived to shoe-horn in a causal mechanism. Now we've prove scaler fields. So god particle it is.

Here are a few of my hopeful predictions:

Tensor Boson also proven (Graviton)
Existential singularity officially passed

To the question on The Higgs Mechanism:

At extremely high temperatures seen in the big bang "symmetry breaking" occurs. That is the separation of the fundamental forces from each other. Without the Higgs mechanism all gauge bosons and fermions (the elementary particles like quarks that make up all other matter) would be massless.

And it's still a magical thing to be honest. About the best answer you'll get is "It's a mechanism that's triggered by electroweak symmetry breaking at a certain temperature."

Something like this:

In the Standard Model, at temperatures high enough that electroweak symmetry is unbroken, all elementary particles are massless. At a critical temperature, the Higgs field develops a vacuum expectation value; the symmetry is spontaneously broken by tachyon condensation, and the W and Z bosons acquire masses (also called "electroweak symmetry breaking", or EWSB). In the history of the universe, this is believed to have happened about a picosecond (10−12 s) after the hot big bang, when the universe was at a temperature 159.5 ± 1.5 GeV.

And if you really want to get into it:

en.m.wikipedia.org...

My likely idiotic theory on that is it has to do with an underlying primordial vacuum, or vacuum genesis. Almost like the physical universe is always "connected" to this underlying field, and is a product of. When exception values happen universes are bestowed mass. Has to be ever-present to create a higgs-boson in a lab.

And with every discovery were getting closer to unlocking that "subspace". If that's the case then we may get closer to Zero Point Energy. And then rip a hole in the fabric of the universe.

"the light shined in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not"

05% Matter
27% Dark Matter
68% Dark Energy

But what about the Light Energy, why don't we ask that?

Photons are massless but the energy involved and contained in even a single atom is tremendous.

Light has energy that much is obvious, can anyone attempt to count the total volume of light-energy pervading the universe?

One things for sure... atleast we can see it /pun intended.

It is Light which prevades the universe not darkness, nothing, 0

The Light shines through the darkness (otherwise you wouldn't even know the darkness was there) because it only appears that way in our visual spectrum.

The precise size of the particle accelerator needed to create a every thing that we see is exactly the size of the universe.

It's a strange coincidence but I've done the math, it checks out.

It is said that the quantum world is much smaller than the macro world is large. That imbalance does not exactly agree with the fine-tuning of the universe required for it to even exist.

There is more outside the macro... the Meta
