Higgs Boson - The God Particle - Mysteries and Facts Behind the Universe's Biggest Secret

Apr 20 2024 4 mins

Have you ever wondered why things have mass? Join Tanvi as she tackles the fascinating world of the Higgs Boson! This episode dives deep into the concept of the Higgs field, a metaphorical molasses pool that particles wade through, and the Higgs Boson, the particle linked to this field. We'll explore how the Higgs Boson grants mass to other particles, why it's nicknamed the

Standard Model of Elementary Particles vs. Periodic Table of Elements - Who Wins the Subatomic Symphony?

Mar 23 2024 7 mins

This episode takes you on a journey from the familiar Periodic Table to the bizarre realm of subatomic particles. It compares the elements we know (like Hydrogen) to the even tinier fundamental particles that make them up (like Quarks and Leptons). Get ready to explore the dance party of fermions and bosons, the quirky charges of quarks, and how they team up to form protons and neu

Decoding the Mysterious Recipe of our Universe - Fermions, Bosons, Matter and Superfluidity

Mar 02 2024 6 mins

This episode dives into the fascinating world of Fermions and Bosons, the fundamental building blocks of everything. We explore their unique personalities, from the solitary Fermions to the social Bosons who love to clump together. Discover how Fermions create the matter around us, and how Bosons govern the forces that hold it all together. We'll even explore the mind-bending w
