Shahriar Sadigh Afshar is a Iranian-American physicist and several award-winning inventor. He's known for devising and executing the Afshar experiment while in the personal, Boston-based Institute for Radiation-Induced Mass Research IRIMS. The outcomes were presented in a Harvard convention in March 2004.
Biography
His greatest academic degree is a Bachelor of Science He's numerous patents for his title in high tech. Back in 2014 Afshar was rated as the 8th smartest man alive by Super Scholar.
Afshar experiment
The Afshar experiment is a optical experimentation, which he asserts demonstrates a contradiction of this principle of complementarity in quantum mechanics. As a consequence of the controversy surrounding claims made concerning the experimentation, Afshar complained he was assaulted over his faith and ethnicity. These personal attacks brought a rebuke in an editorial in the New Scientist, which called them"intense" and also an"entirely wrong sort of battle".
Business career
In his interviews with CNN and Bloomberg TV, it's been known as"4D tech", as a follow on to this current success of 3D amusement.
Higgs Boson publicity
On November 18, 2009, on the eve of Large Hadron Collider's launching, Afshar declared a bet where he wager against LHC's discovering the Higgs boson, also called"the God particle," in a comment in the New Scientist and at an award winning article in Popular Science. He also offered his own theory about the source of inertia instead. With the statement on July 4, 2012 by scientists at CERN that they'd discovered the Higgs boson Afshar seemed to have lost the wager. The signs in the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN indicates the presence of the Higgs, but couple respectable physicists have predicted it entirely dispositive at January 2013. Nevertheless others and he said it was too soon to know for certain, if the particle is the one called by the normal Model, the concept that has mastered physics for the previous half-century, and it'll require additional work to ascertain the accuracy.
