This article contains AI-generated imagery. In 2012, the scientific community and the world at large were abuzz with the announcement of the discovery of the Higgs Boson, a fundamental particle that plays a crucial role in the Standard Model of particle physics. Dubbed the "God particle" by the media, this term has sparked both fascination and confusion, blending scientific achievement with unintended theological implications. But what exactly is the Higgs boson, and why did it earn such a provocative nickname?

A Massive, Mysterious Object Is Traveling Through Space At One Million Miles Per Hour

Giant black holes in the centres of galaxies like our own Milky Way are known to occasionally munch on nearby stars. This leads to a dramatic and complex process as the star plunging towards the supermassive black hole is spaghettified and and torn to shreds. The resulting fireworks are known as a tidal disruption event.

Large-scale earthquakes and tsunamis have historically affected the western regions of the U.S. and Canada and are likely to do so in the future. Off the southern coasts of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and northern California, a 600-mile-long strip exists where the Pacific Ocean floor gradually subducts eastward beneath North America.
