On July 4, 2012, the Higgs boson, dubbed as the "God particle,"
which the physicists had been searching for more than 40 years now,
was announced to have been discovered by the Large Hadron Collider
(LHC), the world' largest particle accelerator operated by the
European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Since the
Standard Model did not include the explanation of how the particles
got their mass, the Higgs mechanism called the Higgs field with a
mediating particle of the Higgs boson was invented as the particle
that provides the answer to the source of mass of the other
particles. On March 14, 2012, physicists at CERN finally confirmed
it, paving the way for the possible Nobel Prize nominations for
those who conceptualized it and those who worked to discover it. So
far amidst the excitement, what the physicists thought that the
discovery would bring forth in the advancement in physics was
nowhere to be found. With the author's publication of this book,
the author is refuting the existence of the "God particle"-the
Higgs boson. But more than that, this book is not even primarily
written to refute the Higgs boson. Rather, this book presents new
theories that will bring forth new advancements in physics, such as
the true understanding of charge (Charge theory), New Model of an
Atom (replaces the current model of an atom), source of mass of the
particles (Mass theory), theory on the structure of the atom of the
elements, Atom Law that will replace the Pauli Exclusion Principle,
theory on the structure of quarks inside the proton and neutron
(Quark theory), and the Theory of Everything that will revise the
Standard Model and provide the understanding of the fundamental
forces. (This book, together with the written but unpublished book
on theory on light and the future to be written book on the theory
on gravity will complete the Theory of Everything.) This book also
challenges another contender for the Theory of Everything, the
String Theory by showing (through Occam's razor) that we don't need
a whimsical theory to explain our practical observable universe. To
show the extent of change that this book brings, this book
challenges the works by physicists that were even award the Nobel
Prize. This book challenges the Bohr's and Schrodinger's Model of
an Atom, nuclear shell model of an atom, Pauli Exclusion Principle
(including the Aufbau Principle and the Hund's rule). Furthermore,
as a Theory of Everything, this book also challenges quantum
chromodynamics (QCD) and the Electroweak theory. For the physicists
who are looking for the New Physics, this is the Real New Physics
that will cause nothing short of a paradigm shift.
Published to widespread acclaim, in Marie Curie and Her Daughters,
science writer Shelley Emling shows that far from a shy introvert
toiling away in her laboratory, the famed scientist and two-time
Nobel prize winner was nothing short of an iconoclast. Emling draws
on personal letters released by Curie's only granddaughter to show
how Marie influenced her daughters yet let them blaze their own
paths: Irene followed her mother's footsteps into science and was
instrumental in the discovery of nuclear fission; Eve traveled the
world as a foreign correspondent and then moved on to humanitarian
missions. Emling also shows how Curie, following World War I,
turned to America for help. Few people know about Curie's close
friendship with American journalist Missy Meloney, who arranged
speaking tours across the country for Marie, Eve, and Irene. Months
on the road, charming audiences both large and small, endeared the
Curies to American women and established a lifelong relationship
with the United States that formed one of the strongest connections
of Marie's life. Factually rich, personal, and original, this is an
engrossing story about the most famous woman in science that rips
the cover off the myth and reveals the real person, friend, and
mother behind it.
