In the case of most subsequent particle discoveries, the particle and its anti-particle were discovered essentially simultaneously. Composite particles which were the first particle discovered containing a particular elementary constituent, or whose discovery was critical to the understanding of particle physics.
Richard Phillips Feynman (/ ˈ f aɪ n m ə n /; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist.He is best known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and in particle physics, for which he proposed the parton model.

The first step, and most important by far, is “establishing a stable antimatter production line with much larger storage capacities”—something we don’t have the resources to do today.
It suggested that all of physics depended on a special kind of particle – the Higgs boson – that was required to make the universe exist but which had not at that point been discovered.
This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
2000 scientists at Fermilab announce the first direct evidence for the tau neutrino, the third kind of neutrino in particle physics. [30] 2000 CERN announced quark-gluon plasma, a new phase of matter. [34] 2001 the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (Canada) confirm the existence of neutrino oscillations.
Researchers have used a quantum computer to uncover a mysterious particle called an anyon that appears to remember its past. Anyons were first theorised by physicists in the 1970s, with a ...
