'It’s a huge deal.'
. The findings rest on the most accurate measurement ever recorded of a particle called a W boson, which is an electrically charged fundamental particle that governs one of the most fundamental rules of the physical world: weak force.
The only problem, according to the scientists involved in the study, is that the particle appears to be larger and much different than previously thought. That means that a great deal of what we thought we knew about physics might come falling down, like a fragile house of cards. "If this is real, and not some systematic bias or misunderstanding of how to do the calculations, then it’s a huge deal because it would mean there’s a new fundamental ingredient to our universe that we haven’t discovered before," Harry Cliff, a particle physicist at Cambridge University, told theAshutosh Kotwal, a Duke University physicist who led the study, told the newspaper that the results took so long to understand because they concern a staggering 450 trillion particle...
It may have taken a while, but if what these scientists are saying is true, it would be a bombshell discovery that forever alters the way we think the universe works — a humbling moment for scientists and laypeople alike.
