Why does time move forward? An experiment called BaBar, an international collaboration of more than 500 engineers and scientists, has recently shed some light on this mystery. But to understand their results, we first need to look at some work they did with antimatter.
Ever since the 1960s, particle physicists have been searching for this tiny particle they called the Higgs. It’s named after Peter Higgs, one of a handful of scientists who proposed the theory to complete the standard model of particle physics.
