Fermilab’s collider detector achieves a result that could revolutionize modern physics

Scientists outside of Chicago, USA, have discovered that the mass of a subatomic particle is not what it should be – a surprising discovery that could revolutionize physics and our understanding of the universe.

The measurement is the first conclusive result of an experiment that contradicts one of the most important and successful theories in modern physics.

The team found that the particle, known as the W boson, has a greater mass than theories predicted.

Professor David Toback, a spokesman for the project, described the result as “shocking”.
