The efforts to detect the existence of Higgs boson particle have become frequent news in the recent past. What is /are the importance/importance of discovering this particle?
1. It will enable us to understand as to why elementary particles have mass.
2. It will enable us in the near future to develop the technology to transferring matter from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.
3. It will enable us to create better fuels for nuclear fission.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Higgs Boson is a particle postulated by the Standard Model of Physics to provide mass to all particles in the universe. Statement 1 is correct: Discovery of the Higgs Boson will help us further understand why elementary particles have mass. Statement 2 is incorrect: The technology of transferring physical matter without traversing the physical space in between is not presently related to the discovery of the Higgs Boson. Statement 3 is incorrect: The Higgs Boson will not help in creating better fuels for nuclear fission. It has to be understood that the discovery of the Higgs Boson will only confirm what has already been theorised and is not the discovery of a new principle in Physics.
