Particle Physics and The Standard Model

Particle physics is the science that studies the nature of subatomic particles which form our universe, which addresses us to the question what is matter made up of. It shows that particles are produced due to particles collisions which are classifies into three families. These particles form the molecules and atoms with the help of four basic forces. The Standard Model describes strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, using the gauge bosons. Types of gauge bosons are the gluons, W-, W + and Z bosons, and photons. The standard model also contains 24 fundamental particles 12 particles and their associated anti-particle, which are the components of all matter. Finally, the standard model predicted the existence of a type of boson known as the Higgs boson. On July 4, 2012, physicists announced with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN they have found a new particle that behaves like what is expected of the Higgs boson.

attending educational media and technology courses

It is my pleasure to attend such course in the spring semester. This course is full of beneficial information that make us more accessible to computer applications and programs. It makes our work more easier as teachers. From the beginning of the semester the classes are going fluently and everything seems to be fine. I am waiting for having more ideas about using computers to facilitate our job.

What is physics??

What is physics? The dictionary definition of physics is "the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them", but that really means is that physics is about asking fundamental questions and trying to answer them by observing and experimenting. physicists ask really big questions like: how did the universe begin? how will the universe change in the future? how does the sun keep on shining? what are the basic building blocks of matter? If you thi nk these questions are fascinating, then you'll like physics! Physics is the knowledge of nature, which is the natural science that studies matter and its motion and behavior through space and time and that studies the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves!

Learning process in old days and nowadays

The learning process had a huge progress from old days to nowadays. Education in the past was specific and the number of schools was small, which was only for the wealthy. In the past, students with special needs were hidden away and forgotten. It was not easy at all. Students used to study under the street lamp, bulbs, candles, due to not much electricity; also they used to arrive to the schools on their feet, despite of storms, wars and many bad circumstances they faced. But the good aspect that there was not much electronics, so children spend their time reading book, novels and helping in the house chores. Whereas, education nowadays is different. Learning now becomes easier and interactive than the olden times, which holds many ways for students to educate, may be books, internet, softcopies and others. Also, it is much easier to care for documents since they are in the shape of e book as well as pdf, which improves the standard of education. Moreover, te...
