TBH, I'd say that I don't understand it. When you say 246 Gev, I assume you mean it's mass? I probably could, but I don't entirely understand it all. Thats not what I'm looking for though. What I really want is to be able to describe the Higgs Boson in a few sentances (is that possible??) in...

Thanks a bunch, that really helped. Another thing is: how will the LHC benifit mankind (besides knowledge,most people think THAT alone isn't worth it...), I know I read about it somewhere but I've forgotten it...

Thanks for that link. About the maths, thing is it's aimed at a non-physicist audience so I want as little maths as possible as I don't want to scare them away. I'm not doing a very thorough analysis though, I just need a sort of 'quick explanation' if you get my meaning.

I thought that sending information faster than the speed of light was forbidden by special relativity EDIT: But Tachyons (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyons) can go faster than the speed of light, though they are highly hypothetical and controversial.

I am currently writing a talk on CERN that is aimed at non-physicists, however I am finding it difficult to try and explain the higgs boson in language that is easy to understand. Even I, as a physics student, find it difficult. Could someone try and explain it to me please or link me to a...

There was no other information given. What do you mean by shifting the time??

Homework Statement I'm supposed to show that whatever superposition of harmonic oscillator states is used to construct wavepacket of the form \sum cv\Psi (x,t) (cv are arbitary complex coefficients), it is at the same place at the times 0, T, 2T,.. where T = 2 \pi/\omega Homework...

Thank You!

Yeah that's what was holding up. Thanks so much!

bm = 1/pi integral f(x)sinmx dx So do you integrate the first part from pi to 0 and the second part from 0 to -pi

Yeah sorry

Well i meant that one of the coefficients (ie the cos ) is zero because i am using sum notation. an = 1/pi integral f(x)cosmx dx from pi to -pi. Do I integrate both functions and sum them or what?

One of the coefficients (cos) is zero

Odd?

The first part is even and the second is odd
