Q46.
The efforts to detect the existence of Higgs boson particle have become frequent news in the recent past. What is/are the importance/importances 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 of 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 mission. Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Answer
A
Explanation
Option 1 is correct: The Higgs boson is associated with the Higgs field, theorized to pervade the universe, and explains why particles acquire mass. Options 2 and 3 are wrong/doubtful — Higgs Boson is not a main item that will open the way for teleportation, and it will not directly enable creation of better nuclear fuels.
