The first cosmic neutrinos - “ghost” particles created by violent incidents on the outskirts of the universe - were discovered in the South Pole by an international team of astrophysicists. Neutrinos, cosmic ray products with tiny, almost non-existent mass, are elementary particles like electrons but lack electric charge. According to…
Having confirmed in practice the existence of the Higgs boson, experts at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) proceeded to check the theory of the existence of antigravity. This was reported by the British media. According to the theory, antimatter generates its own gravitational field, which, in contrast to…
