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?
- It will enable us to understand as to why elementary particles have mass.
- 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.
- It will enable us to create better fuels for nuclear fission.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Detailed Explanation:
✅ Statement 1 – Correct: The Higgs boson discovery confirms the Higgs field mechanism that explains why elementary particles acquire mass through interaction with this field.
❌ Statement 2 – Incorrect: Matter teleportation (transferring matter without traversing physical space) is not related to the Higgs boson; this particle explains mass, not quantum teleportation or matter transport technologies.
❌ Statement 3 – Incorrect: The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle in the Standard Model of physics unrelated to nuclear fission fuels; it does not improve fuel efficiency or reactor technology.
