Average Reading Time: 2 min 50 seconds Mass is still a mystery in physics![]() ATLAS experiment under construction. Pictures taken by the author June 7 2007 <<Previous Picture<< >>Next Picture>> In 1996 CERN approved the ATLAS experiment, which is aimed at proving the existence of the Higgs boson particle. The Higgs particle in theoretical physics plays the role of mass in reality or of mass as part of matter. There is no other accelerator in the world that is powerful enough to detect the Higgs boson. Finally, on September 10 2008, after those long years of planning, preparation and precise and tenacious work the LHC has been turned-on! On that day a single beam of particles did a full revolution around the 27 km ring. Everything ran as expected; a first round occurred left wise, immediately followed with a round in the other direction. The next step was to perform the first collisions... Unfortunately on September 20 2008 a malfunction occurred, and taking in account all repairs and scheduled maintenance, the LHC will not be turned back on until Dec 2009. For more information consult CERN's LHC News1. Mass does not exist in the Gravimotion worldShould you have landed directly on this page, this web site introduces the gravimotion theory an alternate to physics theories.In the gravimotion world mass doesn't exist and that theory predicts instead that the Higgs boson particle will never be discovered no matter the energy involved. The temporary setback experienced by CERN, as annoying as it is, nevertheless provides room to breath for this author (unknown by comparison)! Should the Higgs particle boson be "physically" discovered, gravimotion is history! It is as simple as that. On the other hand should the LHC reach its designed power and no Higgs particle boson be discovered, gravimotion might be considered as a viable alternative! What if the Higgs Boson doesn't exist?Neither physics nor fiction Read all about Gravimotion! Should the Higgs boson be dismissed, as suggested in gravimotion, all mechanic equations written by Newton and Einstein would suddenly be in question! Should the Higgs particle be dismissed, the part of the quantum theory that deals with the atomic number, coincidental to the atom's protons and their mass would suddenly be in question too! As can be seen, should the Higgs boson be dismissed, entire sections of theoretical physics edifice would break apart and sink, just as the polar glaciers tumble and sink into the polar sea! But is that important? Physicists will continue their research and pursue their theories one way or another! As an example nobody proved that time and space exist and they are of prime importance in physics! So if mass doesn't exist, who cares? No matter what, physics mathematics will remain as valid as physics experiments! The point is that while physics theories describe reality with extreme accuracy, physics theories do not explain anything. What about Gravimotion as plan B ?Should the Higgs boson be dismissed and along with it our human (and physics) concept of mass, the gravimotion theory that is not based on particle mass is there to supplement theoretical physics!Besides being simple, innovative and making sense the gravimotion theory is a unified theory.
