Watch as particles navigate through space, dramatically changing as they encounter the Higgs field. See them slow down and grow, representing mass gain, then shrink and speed up upon exit. Watch this short clip by astrophysicist Brian Greene for a succinct explanation. 

Instructions:

• Click anywhere to add particles (i.e. yellow circles as they represent electrons, quarks, and the W and Z bosons)

• Observe how particles entering the Higgs field (central raised area) slow down and increase in size, representing mass gain

• Watch particles shrink and speed up when exiting, simulating mass loss

• Particles outside the field maintain constant size and speed, representing their natural massless state

• Simplified simulation for educational purposes only. Not to scale. Best viewed on a computer/laptop browser

Instructions:

• Click and drag to rotate the camera and view the merger from any angle. Merger happens automatically, releasing gravitational waves.

• Use the control panel to adjust physics parameters and toggle visual effects.

Instructions: 

Each click triggers a gravitational wave in a 2D spacetime fabric. Rotate space with click+hold+move.

Instructions:

Use the slider to adjust the strenght of the spacetime curvature. Slider controls a metric vaguely representing the weight of a black hole. The weight of the black hole becomes so intense that spacetime is distorted significantly, like a cone in the fabric itself–even bending light.

Visualize the ATLAS experiment's detector–showcasing particle collisions and their interactions with different detector layers. Particles are color-coded based on type and leave fading traces to represent their trajectories.
