Naturalness in physics refers to the assumption that the qualitative properties of nature should not depend on a fine-tuning of the inputs…

With the discovery of what looks to be the Higgs boson, LHC researchers are turning their attention to the next big question, which is the predicted mass of the newly discovered particles. When the effects of quantum mechanics is taken into account, the mass of the Higgs boson should be incredibly high…perhaps upwards of a quadrillion times higher than what was observed. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains how it is that the theory predicts that the mass is so large and gives at least one possible theoretical idea that might solve the problem. Whether the proposed idea is the answer or not, this question must be answered by experiments at the LHC or today’s entire theoretical paradigm could be in jeopardy.

What If There Were Life After Death?

What If There Were Life After Death?



No one can say with certainty what happens after we die. And it’s the one unknown all of us will face. So what if our existence wasn’t temporary? What if there was life after death? How long can your brain live after your body dies? Could your loved ones still communicate with you? And does your body contain the zombie gene? Is death a figment of your imagination? What’s our perception of reality on it?
