Higgs Boson scientists 'nearly sure'

Higgs Boson scientists 'nearly sure'

Scientists from the European Nuclear Research Organisation (CERN) say they're now even more convinced that the sub-atomic particle they identified in experiments last year is the long sought-after Higgs Boson.

But the researchers say they still cannot be 100%.

The Higgs Boson -which would explain why matter has mass- has been described as the missing cornerstone of physics.

It's long been theorized and physicists around the world have been racing to confirm the theory with practical experiments.

Ilmuwan 'hampir pastikan' keberadaan Higgs Boson

Para ahli di Organisasi Riset Nuklir Eropa (CERN) mengatakan makin yakin bahwa partikel subatom yang mereka temukan dalam beberapa percobaan tahun lalu adalah Higgs Boson, yang telah lama dicari.

Namun para ilmuwan ini belum yakin 100%.

Higgs Boson -yang menjelaskan mengapa materi memiliki massa- digambarkan sebagai elemen penting fisika yang hilang.

Teori keberadaan Higgs Boson sudah berumur lama dan para ahli fisika di seluruh dunia berlomba-lomba untuk membuktikan teori tersebut dengan berbagai eksperimen praktis.

Chavez "probably" won't be embalmed

The acting president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro has said it's highly unlikely that the body of the former president, Hugo Chavez will be embalmed, as the government had suggested it would be.

The government had said Mr Chavez's preserved body would be placed on display, like Vladimir Lenin, Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong; but Mr Maduro said Russian experts who'd been consulted had said it would probably not be possible.

He said the body had not been properly prepared on time - but offered no further explanation.

Chavez 'mungkin' tidak akan dibalsem

Presiden sementara Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, mengatakan kecil kemungkinan jenazah mantan presiden Hugo Chavez akan dibalsem, seperti yang diusulkan pemerintah.

Pemerintah Venezuela sebelumnya mengatakan jenazah Chavez diawetkan sehingga bisa dilihat, seperti Vladimir Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, dan Mao Zedong, namun Maduro mengatakan para ahli Rusia yang terlibat dalam konsultasi mengatakan mengawetkan jenazah Chavez mungkin tidak bisa dilakukan.

Ia mengatakan jenazahnya tidak dipersiapkan secara semestinya untuk diawetkan, namun tidak memberikan rincian lebih lanjut.
