Scientific results Experiments The existence of a defect indicating sterile neutrinos – a new elementary particle that has not yet been confirmed.

The last 10 years Physics stumbles on the spot. Since the confirmation of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have not been able to make major discoveries. Now we have ⁇The standard model of physics is, roughly, a set of confirmed and observable results that underlie our universe.

However, this is not enough, because even now scientists understand that these are not the absolute laws for the existence of our world. The standard model describes the reaction of elementary particles by three forces – electromagnetism, as well as strong and weak nuclear interactions. At the same time, it does not explain the existence of gravity, as well as the ambiguity of dark matter and dark energy that is invisible to our eyes and telescopes. In fact, we do not understand how 95% of our universe works.
