| Subjects: | Physics -- Methodology, Mathematical physics, Mathematical models, Computer simulation, Models & modelmaking, Supersymmetry, Particle physics, Higgs bosons |
| Abstract: | The article discusses exploring and learning about the real world by making smaller scale models of it in the field of physics. Topics include the use of replicas of physical systems to overcome the practical and financial limitations of larger experiments, comments from Daniele Faccio of Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland on the limitations of computer modeling, and the concept of supersymmetry (SUSY), which predicts the existence of more than one Higgs particle. |
