How big is the biggest boson, anyway?
If you mean single particle, the largest one we know of is the Higgs boson, with a mass of ~125 GeV. Fermions can pair up to form bosonic quasiparticles, giving rise to superconductivity and superfluidity. Cores of neutron stars are in a superfluid state. -- Mike Stay - metaweta@gmail.com http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~mike http://reperiendi.wordpress.com
