advanced questions
some questions I myself find fascinating:
- As the Higgs Boson interacts with itself (it couples to mass), which force belongs to this exchange interaction of the Higgs Boson (discovery and Nobel price 2013)?
- The Graviton has not been found yet nor is there a candidate for a TOE (Theory of everything). But does gravity necessarily have to be an exchange interaction? Or could it be an entropic force and does the Graviton maybe not even exist? → Read more about the theorist Eric Verlinde and his theory about Entropic Gravity.
