Stock Market Highlights, April 10: Sensex gains 354 points, Nifty stays at 22,750; larger indices perform!

by Leave a Comment

Stock Market Closing Bell on April 10, 2024: Equity markets were rangebound with a positive bias on Wednesday as investors await fresh triggers for directional moves. The S&P BSE Sensex ended with gains of 354 points, or 0.47 percent, at 75,038 levels, while the Nifty50 closed at 22,754, up 111 points or 0.49 percent.

ITC, Kotak Bank, SBI, Tech M, Bharti Airtel, Asian Paints, JSW Steel, Infosys, and Reliance Industries were the top winners on the 30-stock index, rising between 1 percent and 2 percent.

Meanwhile, in the broader markets, outperformed the market with the BSE MidCap index and the BSE SmallCap index advancing 0.89 percent and 0.46 percent, respectively. 

Among sectors, the Nifty PSU Bank, FMCG, Media, and Metal indices gained in the range of 1.23 percent to 1.80 percent, while Pharma and Auto indices ended in the red.

Tech View:: ‘Decisive move above 22,750 in Nifty might induce a rally towards 23,000’

The Nifty mostly remained sideways today as investors preferred to wait ahead of the US CPI inflation data, which could potentially impact rate cuts by the Fed. The resistance zone is placed at 22,700-22,750, while support is at 22,600. A decisive move above 22,750 might induce a rally towards 23,000 in the short term. Since the market appears to be range-bound, buying on dips and selling on rallies might prove to be a good strategy with proper stop-loss measures.

Comment :: ‘Investors remain fixated on impending release of the FOMC minutes, US inflation data’

Indian markets sustained their upward momentum, buoyed by a robust performance in the broader market, albeit slightly lagging behind its Asian and European counterparts. Investor attention remains fixated on the impending release of the FOMC minutes and US inflation data later today. Following the release of strong US job data, market sentiments are inclined towards an anticipation of spike inflation, thereby reducing the likelihood of a near-term rate cut. Additionally, Fitch’s recent downgrade of China’s credit rating could potentially reverberate through the global economy, warranting a caution.

Comment :: Here’s what could keep markets resilient

Robust economic growth, decent corporate earnings, macroeconomic stability, expectations of political stability after elections, sustained capital flows, and retail investor enthusiasm will keep the market resilient despite rich valuations.

A significant recent healthy trend in the market is the outperformance of the fundamentally strong large caps over the mid and small caps. This trend is making the market healthier and, therefore, has the potential to continue. Largecap banking stocks are likely to be the leaders if the rally sustains.

The US CPI data to be published today is significant since that will determine the quantum of rate cuts by the Fed this year. The fact that US inflation has come down by two-thirds is significant and positive from the market perspective, but the trajectory of inflation, going forward, will largely influence the direction of stock markets, globally.

RR vs. GT: A wide ball generated controversy, and the third umpire overturned the decision with his own.

by Leave a Comment

RR vs. GT: Shubman Gill, the captain of the Gujarat Titans, appeared quite incensed following a wide ball in the Rajasthan Royals game. Different fans are responding to the entire affair in different ways.

RR vs. GT: Shubman Gill, the captain of Gujarat Titans, chose to bowl first after winning the toss in the Rajasthan Royals vs. Gujarat Titans game. Sanju Samson and Ryan Parag took over the team’s innings and together they created a century partnership during this time as his side got off to an excellent start and did not allow either of the Rajasthan Royals openers to do anything remarkable. The two batsmen appeared to be in excellent shape. Everyone’s attention was drawn to a third umpire’s decision during this time.

What did the third umpire do?

The Rajasthan Royals’ batting was going quite well at this point until the umpire gave Mohit Sharma’s ball a wide in the match’s 17th over. Shubman Gill, the captain of the Gujarat Titans, requested a review of this. When the third umpire viewed the ball, he or she became perplexed as well. After reviewing it, though, the third umpire declared it to be a fair delivery. Once more, the ball was ruled fair by the on-field umpire. However, after reviewing the replays, the third umpire overturned his initial ruling and ruled it white. Shubman Gill seems enraged by this choice. He also spoke with the on-field umpire about the matter, but to no avail, and he ultimately lost his review.

Fans reactions

Fans have been responding to this incident that occurred during the game between the two teams in a variety of ways. The third umpire’s ability to reverse his ruling once more infuriated a few fans. However, some supporters think that Shubman Gill, the third umpire, made a mistake in his argument and that the third umpire made the correct call. On social media, a lot of memes about this are also becoming popular. In the process, RR lost three wickets in 20 overs while batting first and amassed 196 runs. It is a major objective for GT.

Rajasthan scored 196 runs

Young batsman Riyan Parag is seen in amazing form. He has already scored two half-centuries and in this match also Parag played his innings in a explosive manner. From the other end, captain Sanju Samson also showed his bat power. Parag played an excellent inning of 78 runs in just 48 balls with the help of 3 fours and 5 sixes. Sanju Samson also played an unbeaten inning of 68 runs in 38 balls, which included 7 fours and 2 sixes. Thanks to the quick innings, Rajasthan put 196 runs on the scoreboard. 

The message-writing part of Google Messages has been modified!

The message composition area of Google Messages is presently split into two sections. The text input box is in the first area, while the smiley, gallery, and icons are in the second section, which is directly beneath the first one. This design has a great deal of white space. Google Messages People have been requesting that Google merge the two parts as a result. Nevertheless, the business has taken notice and is attempting to implement the adjustment.

A new report from 9To5 Google claims that the message composition area of Google Messages has been changed in the most recent beta version (20240404_01_RC00). It has the smiley button on the left, the gallery and icons on the right, and merely a text input box. The updated layout appears more elegant and takes up far less room. The Magic Compose icon appears in place of the gallery icon once the text is entered in the box.

Regretfully, by default, Google Messages does not display the updated message composition part. The new design had to be manually activated by the publication. We hope that when Google Messages releases its next beta, the firm will include it by default. After extensively testing the new design, which may take a few weeks or months, Google may decide to include it in the stable version of the app.

Google Messages will warn users about visiting links sent by unknown users via RCS

It has been revealed that Google will soon warn users about the risk of visiting links sent via RCS by users who aren’t on their contacts list. This feature isn’t live on the stable version of Google Messages yet and is under testing. It was spotted by Android enthusiast @AssembleDebug (via PiunikaWeb) in the latest beta version (20240402_01_RCO0) of Google Messages. An X user pointed out that this feature even works with links received via SMS. In recent Galaxy phones, the Google Messages app is the default SMS and RCS app instead of Samsung Messages.

Hopefully, Google knows about this bug and will release a fix for this issue. Keep an eye out for an update to the Google Play Store app on your Galaxy smartphone or tablet. You can check for the update by navigating to Settings » About » Update Play Store.

Lok Sabha Elections of 2024: PM Modi attacks the Congress and DMK for Katchatheevu and “Shakti” Statements!

by Leave a Comment

Lok Sabha Elections of 2024: At an election rally in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared, “The DMK has the first copyright on corruption; the entire family is looting Tamil Nadu.”

With only ten days to go for polling for the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections, political parties are conducting several rallies across India to win votes.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, said that family politics, corruption, and an anti-Tamil culture were the three major features of the ruling DMK party. The Dravidian party, he claimed, seemed to have a “copyright’’ to indulge in corruption in Tamil Nadu.

He was addressing a public meeting at the 16th-century granite Fort complex in Vellore town in support of NDA candidates A. C. Shanmugam (Vellore), A. Ashwathaman (Tiruvannamalai), K. Balu (Arakkonam), Ganesh Kumar (Arani), Sowmiya Anbumani (Dharmapuri) and C. Narasimhan (Krishnagiri) for the Lok Sabha polls.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), the Opposition alliance in Maharashtra, has finally sealed its seat-sharing deal for the Lok Sabha election on April 9. As part of the agreement, Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) will contest 21 seats, the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-Sharadchandra Pawar) will contest 10 seats while the Congress will get 17 seats. 

Meanwhile, the Congress announced the names of six Lok Sabha and 12 Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh on April 9. According to the list released by the party, Pulusu Satyanarayana Reddy (Visakhapatnam) Vegi Venkatesh (Anakapalle), Lavanya Kavuri (Eluru), Garnepudi Alexander Sudhakar (Narasaraopet), Koppula Raju (Nellore) and Chinta Mohan (Tirupati) will contest the Lok Sabha polls. 

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) began its door-to-door drive under its “Jail ka Jawab Vote se” campaign on April 9 to garner support for arrested Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the party in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.

Meanwhile, The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has ordered the withdrawal of 50 companies (each company has around 100 personnel) of CAPFs, mainly drawn from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Border Security Force (BSF), from the violence-hit State. The two Lok Sabha seats in the violence-hit State will witness polling on April 19 and April 26.

Here are the live updates.

1. Northeast’s Transformation: The BJP president, J. P. Nadda, highlighted Northeast India’s outstanding development during the last ten years. Known for problems like movements and bandhs, the area has advanced significantly during the rule of Modi. The northeastern state’s Lok Sabha and Assembly elections are soon, and the BJP unveiled its platform, which emphasizes growth in several areas, including tourism, power, and governance.

2. Lok Sabha Poll Delay in Betul: Because of the unexpected passing of a BSP candidate, the Madhya Pradesh Lok Sabha election in the Betul constituency has been rescheduled until May 7. In certain situations, the election is postponed by electoral laws so that the party can propose a new candidate. By Section 52 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, the Election Commission declared the new poll date.

3. Manipur’s Unity and BJP’s Stand: The BJP’s candidate from Inner Manipur for the Lok Sabha elections, Thounaojam Basanta Kumar Singh, the state’s minister of law, highlighted the party’s commitment to a unified Manipur. Rejecting separatist impulses, he reaffirmed the BJP’s commitment to safeguarding the state for coming generations. Singh rejected divisive agendas and emphasized the need for peace and unity in the area.

4. Congress Leader Joins BJP: In Rajasthan, Congress leader Sitaram Agarwal switched allegiance to the BJP, joining the party along with his supporters. Agarwal, who contested Jaipur’s Vidhyadhar Nagar seat in the previous assembly elections, made the move in the presence of BJP leaders. His decision reflects ongoing shifts in political affiliations ahead of the elections.

5. Athawale’s Electoral Plans: Union Minister Ramdas Athawale expressed his desire to contest the Shirdi Lok Sabha seat in Maharashtra. However, due to alliance constraints, his plans didn’t materialize. Athawale, a prominent Dalit leader, addressed the press in Nagpur, indicating his party workers’ support for him to continue with the ruling NDA and seek a cabinet berth at the Centre.

As India prepares for important elections, these occurrences highlight the country’s dynamic political environment, which reflects regional movements, problems, and aspirations. As the election progresses, check back for more updates.

BJP’s Candidate List and Allegations Against Assam CM

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has returned to the political scene with a new slate of nine candidates for the 2018 elections, amid a flurry of electoral tactics. Prominent individuals like Sanjay Tandon, who will represent Chandigarh, and S.S. Ahluwalia, who is prepared to fight in Asansol, West Bengal, are among these contestants.

But candidate lists aren’t the only thing in politics. Congress lawmaker Pradyut Bordoloi in Assam has interfered with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s campaign apparatus. Sarma is being accused of misleading voters with false promises and of breaking the model code of conduct. The Chief Election Commissioner received a complaint from Bordoloi that focused on Sarma’s purported promise to transfer ₹10,000 to each ration cardholder’s bank account after the election.

According to Bordoloi, these inducements not only violate moral principles but also threaten the credibility of the voting process.

DMK’s Purported Qualifications

It is a big allegation by the Prime Minister to say that the DMK is rooted in family politics, corruption, and anti-Tamil culture. For many, it highlights a story of disenchantment with the current political system, illustrating structural problems impeding the advancement of the state. Particularly in a state that is extremely proud of its linguistic and cultural legacy, the charge of an anti-Tamil culture has resonance.

Election Ideologies

At the opposite extreme of the political spectrum, Rahul Gandhi, the Congressman, simultaneously sparked an ideological discussion. His statements regarding the election as a conflict between unity and division cut to the core of political discourse. An already complicated election picture is further complicated by accusations and counter-accusations amongst political heavyweights.

Party Organisation

Amidst these intensely contested political stories, Congress workers from Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, switched to the BJP, signifying a concrete display of shifting loyalty. Such actions highlight the fluidity of Indian politics and cast doubt on the ideological consistency of individual parties.

The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), led by Sharad Pawar, has released its third slate of candidates for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra. The party’s selection of Shashikant Shinde and Shriram Patil to represent them in Satara and Raver, respectively, is expected to intensify the electoral contest.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi caused a commotion in politics when he made statements at a campaign event in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, farther south. Modi highlighted the NDA’s efforts to create a wealthy India and the BJP’s increasing support in the state. His severe criticism, meanwhile, was directed at the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), which he charged with monopolizing corruption and impeding the advancement of the state through its “family company” model. With a focus on the DMK’s supposed divisive tactics and treatment of political opponents, especially the late Jayalalithaa, Modi’s rhetoric became more aggressive.

Meanwhile, as he prepares to mobilize support for Raju Parwe, the Shiv Sena’s candidate, in Nagpur, Modi’s electoral passion spreads to Maharashtra. Parwe’s transition from the Congress to the Shiv Sena highlights how fluid coalitions are in Indian politics. As Maharashtra prepares for multiple phases of voting, the results of each campaign stop will have a big impact on the outcome of the election.

Turning our attention to Krishnagiri, there is a political confrontation developing between the Congress-DMK coalition and the AIADMK. Both parties are using themes of dissatisfaction to their advantage, attacking the state-level DMK government as well as the federal BJP-led government. Smaller parties like the NTK compete for attention in the middle of this conflict, which further complicates the electoral picture.

Both well-known candidates and fresh faces compete for the support of the voters in this area. Experienced politician K. Gopinath has been nominated by the Congress, and V. Jayaprakash has been proposed by the AIADMK. Furthermore, to add to the electoral complication, the BJP and NTK have fielded candidates, Vidya Rani and C. Narasimhan, respectively.

These updates provide an insight into the competitive races and calculated moves that are determining India’s political future as the nation prepares for yet another spectacular election.

Modi’s Campaign in the Elections of Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu

When: April 10, 2024, at 11:45 a.m.
Where: Tamil Nadu

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent campaign rallies in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, and his impending rally in Nagpur, Maharashtra, are significant turning points in the unfolding drama of the nation’s democratic process as the political battleground heats up throughout India.

In a heated speech, Prime Minister Modi outlined the vision for a thriving India shared by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Vellore. Modi sought to bolster support for his party’s candidates in the approaching elections by highlighting Tamil Nadu’s noteworthy contributions to the country’s industrial and space sectors.

But what made news was his vicious criticism of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). Modi’s remarks, which accused the DMK of being a corrupt “family company,” resonated with the crowd. He painted the DMK as an impediment to Tamil Nadu’s development, highlighting its purported resource exploitation for private benefit.

Modi’s trip to Nagpur, Maharashtra, highlights the importance of the current election contest. As a campaigner for Raju Parwe of the Shiv Sena, a recent Congress defector, Modi’s presence in the state signifies the BJP’s strategic partnerships. Maharashtra provides 48 Lok Sabha seats, hence every constituency plays a significant role in determining the political climate in the area.

In The Patanjali Ads Case, The Supreme Court Told Authorities, “We Will Rip You Apart”

by Leave a Comment

Following that, the Supreme Court stated that Ramdev and Balkrishna attempted to avoid making the trip to court by claiming to be traveling overseas.

Delhi New: The Supreme Court declared today that “we are not blind” and that “it does not want to be generous” in this case, rejecting yet another round of apologies from Patanjali founders Ramdev and Balkrishna for the company’s deceptive advertisements. The court chastised the Uttarakhand licensing authorities for their prolonged inaction against Patanjali and expressed dissatisfaction with the Centre’s response.
“There’s a written apology. They have a wall to their back. Judges Hima Kohli and Amanullah stated, “We decline to accept this, we consider it a deliberate violation of undertaking.”

The bench observed that Ramdev and Balkrishna had communicated their apologies to the media before the commencement of the proceedings. The contemnors did not think it appropriate to submit the affidavits until the case was before the court. They sent it to the media first, and it wasn’t uploaded for us until 7:30 p.m. yesterday. It is evident that they value notoriety,” Judge Kohli remarked.

Speaking on behalf of the Patanjali founders, Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi stated that the apology had been fulfilled and that he was unable to speak for the registry.

Judge Amanullah stated, “You are defrauding the affidavit,” as he read aloud the affidavits. I’m shocked at who wrote it.” When Mr. Rohatgi claimed that there had been a “lapse,” the court said, “very small word.”

How “even heartfelt” is the apology, Justice Amanullah questioned. “We shall say what further has to be said, my lords. He does not practice law as a career. In life, people make mistakes,” Mr. Rohatgi retorted. Even after what we told you? Expressing regret is insufficient. You ought to pay the price for disobeying the court’s ruling. In this instance, we don’t want to be giving,” he remarked.

The court ruled that the general public needs to be made aware of this. “This involves breaking the law as well as one FMCG. When state authorities requested you to leave, you responded by saying that HC had not taken any coercive action against us. We are incorporating it into your behavior; the bigger picture is how you interact with the public, even when you claim to be acting in good faith.”

In the meantime, the court addressed the Uttarakhand government, questioning why the license inspectors had not taken action and why three officers needed to be suspended simultaneously. The state’s officers had done nothing, according to the court. “We strongly oppose to the term ‘bonafide’ being applied to officials. We will not treat (it) casually. It threatened to “rip you apart” and said that the cops were merely “pushing files.”

“The government complained about a false advertisement in a letter to the Uttarakhand licensing authority in 2021. The licensing authority received a response from the company. But the authorities only issued a warning, letting the corporation go. The court stated that the 1954 Act does not include provisions for warning or compounding the offense.

Six times this has happened, back and forth, and each time the licensing inspector has said nothing. The officer has not submitted a report. The subsequent appointee behaved in the same manner. It said, “All three of those policemen ought to be suspended immediately, and the licensing body was “in collaboration with the contemnors.”

The bench said that the Supreme Court is being mocked. “You are acting like a post office. Did you take legal advice? Shameful of you,” it told the state counsel. “Why don’t we agree that you are hand-in-glove with Patanjali,” the court asked the authority, adding, “You have been playing with people’s lives”.

When the Uttarakhand counsel told the court that they would take action, Justice Kohli remarked, “Thank God, now you have woken up at last and realize that there is a statute existing.” 

“What about all the faceless people who have consumed these Patanjali medicines stated to cure diseases that cannot be cured? Can you do this to an ordinary person?” the court said. The licensing authority apologized to the court and assured that they would surely act on the matter.

The Supreme Court then said Ramdev and Balkrishna tried to wriggle out of physical appearance in court and said they were traveling abroad.

The state licensing authority, it noted, was in “deep slumber” and the “disdain” shown by Divya pharmacy to the warnings of state authority is “apparent from tone and tenor of the reply”.

The court said all who held posts as district ayurvedic and unani officers who held posts from 2018 till now shall file replies on actions taken by them against these ads. The court said it will pass orders on Ramdev and Balkrishna on April 16.

Discord finally catches up to Reddit with polling support!

by Leave a Comment

Discord poll feature: Attractive emoji reply polls are history.

In Short

  • While social media platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram have welcomed short videos, Discord has stayed loyal to its mission of serving the community.
  • Finally, Discord now supports polls. Users can now construct polls with up to ten distinct responses and custom durations.
  • Poll moderators will find it easier to control the new functionality, which will also help to prevent arbitrary emoji reactions.

Discord app now offers a poll function that lets you ask your friends and community members to vote on a variety of topics. It ought to be an enjoyable method to spice up discussions throughout all of your platforms. Although conducting polls on Discord was theoretically feasible in the past, it was never a built-in feature. To make this work, you had to think of creative solutions, including letting users vote by responding to posts with emojis. After that, you would add up all of the responses to determine the winner.

However, enough of that silliness. There’s now a real mechanism to make and cast votes in polls in Discord. It will also be a lot simpler to trace them. As soon as a poll is generated, all of the alternatives are visible, and the results are updated as people vote for their favorites. Additionally, polls will be accessible through the mobile and desktop apps. The fact that not everyone can access polls at this time is the sole drawback.

How to make a poll on Discord

By selecting Poll from the menu that displays when you tap the + icon next to the message box in any channel, chat, or group conversation, you may start a new poll. Up to ten distinct responses, a poll description, and a poll duration (one, four, eight, one, three, or seven days) can all be set up using the poll creation user interface. You have the option of allowing respondents to select as few or as many options as they like.

Discord indicates the options you have chosen with a check mark, and surprisingly, you don’t have to worry about skewed results because some respondents were just interested in viewing the results. This is because Discord displays a button labeled “Show results” right next to the “Vote” option.

It is made clear in the feature’s support documentation that slash commands cannot be used to generate polls, and anonymous response gathering is also not possible. However, responses can be changed by anyone while the poll is still open, and anybody can create them. In the coming days, polling ought to be accessible on all Discord servers.

How to use polls on Discord

You can send polls in most places on Discord. If you can send messages in a channel, you’ll be able to create polls. If you can only view channels, you can vote in polls but not create your own. 

Here’s how to create and send a Discord poll.

1. Open Discord and navigate to the server you want to send the poll to.
2. Click the plus sign (+) to the left of your message bar.
3. Click Poll.
4. Enter the poll name and options. You can add emojis, too.
5. Tap the arrow next to Duration to set how long it will be available.
6. Click Post in the upper right corner.

To vote in a poll, select the option you want and click Vote. You can’t vote anonymously, but you can change your vote until the poll closes.

Scientist Peter Higgs, who helped to explain dark matter, Dies At 94!

by Leave a Comment

At 94 years old, Nobel laureate Peter Higgs passed away. He devised a theoretical mechanism using the so-called Higgs boson particle, commonly referred to as the “God particle,” to explain the origin of mass in the universe.

Who is Peter Higgs

The British scientist Peter Higgs has away. He was awarded a Nobel Prize winner in 2013 for discovering a theoretical mechanism decades before others to explain the genesis of mass in the cosmos. He was ninety-four years old.

According to the University of Edinburgh, where he was an emeritus professor, he passed away on April 8 at home. The university’s vice chancellor and principal, Peter Mathieson, described Higgs as “a remarkable individual — a truly gifted scientist whose vision and imagination have enriched our knowledge of the world that surrounds us.”

Higgs and Belgian scientist Francois Englert split the Nobel Prize between them for their respective contributions to the understanding of mass-giving unseen fields in space and the presence of what is now known as the Higgs boson particle. Following the detection of the boson in the Large Hadron Collider, an underground laboratory near Geneva that smashes protons together at nearly the speed of light and captures data on their interaction, the European Nuclear Research Organization CERN announced the discovery of the elemental particle in 2012.

The discovery supported Higgs’ theories, which had been rejected as having “no obvious relevance to physics” in the journal Physics Letters nearly fifty years before their publication.

His efforts, together with independent predictions of a similar nature by Englert and his colleague Robert Brout, produced one of the century’s most important scientific discoveries. The boson field’s creative properties are referred to as the “God particle” in US physicist Leon Lederman’s book of the same name. This term may provide light on dark matter and dark energy, which make up around 96% of the universe but are still unknown to cosmologists.

The Standard Model of particle physics, which explains how matter stays together, was finalized with the discovery of the nearly instantaneous decay of the Higgs boson. Nothing could take shape if there was no mass because particles would just shoot out into space.

After Higgs’ Nobel Prize was announced, UK Prime Minister David Cameron commented, “This brilliant achievement is richly deserved recognition of Peter Higgs’ lifetime of dedicated research and his passion for science.”

Thousands of scientists working on the competing Atlas and CMS experiment teams at CERN confirmed the presence of the boson. To reproduce the conditions following the Big Bang approximately 13.7 billion years ago, particles were forced to collide in a circular supermagnetized tube measuring 27 kilometers (17 miles) in diameter. The project has a minimum $10 billion cost.

The Nobel Foundation claims that it is “probably the largest and the most complex machine ever constructed by humans.”

Higgs Boson Theory

The Higgs boson is the fundamental particle associated with the Higgs field, a field that gives mass to other fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks.

Scientist Peter Higgs Modest Man

Higgs shed a tear when CERN’s scientists erupted in applause at a press conference revealing their discovery on July 4, 2012. The father of the Higgs boson was as modest in the limelight as his simple lifestyle suggested: He lived in a small flat in Edinburgh, had no television, and used public transport, according to the UK’s Telegraph newspaper.

“I regarded it as cheers for the home team, and the home team were the two experiments, Atlas and CMS,” he said in an interview with the BBC. “Maybe they were cheering me, too, but that was a minor issue.”

Higgs said the credit for predicting the mass-forming mechanism belonged to six physicists who contributed three papers on the subject in 1964: Englert and Brout, who wrote the first article, Higgs, and then Gerald Guralnik, Carl Hagen and Tom Kibble.

The Nobel Foundation, which allows three recipients of a prize and none posthumously, chose Higgs and Englert as winners.

Peter Ware Higgs was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in northeast England on May 29, 1929, to an English father and a Scottish mother. His father was a sound engineer for the BBC who lived apart from the family for much of Higgs’s childhood.

Higgs, who suffered from asthma and was partly schooled at home by his mother, lived in Birmingham and Bristol, where he attended Cotham Grammar School until 1946 and developed an interest in the work of physicist Paul Dirac. He graduated with first-class honors in physics from King’s College, University of London, in 1950, and completed a master’s and a doctorate on molecular vibrations.

Higgs held research fellowships in Edinburgh and London before becoming a lecturer in mathematical physics at the University of Edinburgh in 1960. He wrote his ground-breaking paper after developing the theory while walking in the hills around Edinburgh. Higgs was joined by the five other physicists who held similar views about the application of quantum field theory, considered outdated in physics at the time, in their quest to solve the problem of particle mass.

In 1980, Higgs became a professor of theoretical physics at the university, a post he held for 16 years.

Higgs, Brout, and Englert in 2004 won the Wolf Prize, administered by the Wolf Foundation in Israel, and the American Physical Society’s JJ Sakurai Prize for Theoretic Particle Physics in 2010, along with the five other scientists who contributed to work on the Higgs mechanism.

“It’s very nice to be right sometimes,” Higgs said after winning the Nobel Prize.

The Higgs boson was the subject of “Particle Fever,” a documentary that followed CERN scientists on the path to their groundbreaking discovery.

Higgs married an American linguist, Jody Williamson, whom he met at a university staff meeting in Edinburgh. The couple had two sons, Christopher and Jonathan, before their divorce in the early 1970s.

How was the Higgs boson discovery?

After a 40-year search, a subatomic particle with the expected properties was discovered in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland. The new particle was subsequently confirmed to match the expected properties of a Higgs boson.

Why is the Higgs boson called the god particle?

The Higgs boson is popularly known as the “God Particle“. The name originated from Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman’s book on the particle which he titled the “Goddamn Particle” — owing to frustration over how difficult it was to detect.

2025 Toyota 4Runner Arrives with Overland-Themed Trailhunter Trim!

by Leave a Comment

Similar to the Tacoma, the updated 2025 Toyota 4Runner Arrives with Overland-Themed Trailhunter Trim! comes with a new Trailhunter model that is loaded with off-road services.

  • The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder, i-FORCE turbocharged engine generates 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft of torque.
  • The available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain can provide up to 465 lb.-ft of torque and 326 horsepower.
  • The brand-new Trailhunter overlanding vehicle from Toyota is equipped with the newest integrated off-road gear from ARB®, Old Man Emu®, and RIGID Industries®.
  • Power liftgate optional; standard power rear window
  • Now available is the first-ever Platinum premium grade.
  • Accessible The newest Toyota Audio Multimedia is shown on a 14-inch touchscreen.
  • All models come with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 standard.
  • available in the fall of 2024

The New Toyota 4Runner 2025 shares several design cues with the Tacoma pickup truck, including a squared-off front end and a combination of four-cylinder gas and hybrid drivetrains. When the Toyota mid-size truck made its appearance for the 2024 model year, it also debuted under the new Trailhunter name. Now, the new 4Runner follows Tacoma’s off-road tire trail with its own overland exploration-focused Trailhunter model.

For people who wish to explore the wilderness in their vehicles, Toyota refers to the 4Runner Trailhunter as “a manufacturer-developed overland rig straight from the factory,” thus doing away with the necessity for third-party upfitters. The i-Force Max hybrid engine, which comprises a 2.4-liter turbo-4 coupled with an electric motor and a small 1.87-kWh battery, is the only one available for the Trailhunter.

326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque are produced overall. A high-mounted mask intake aids in providing clean air to the i-Force Max engine for swimmers.

2025 Toyota 4Runner

Like the Tacoma model, the 4Runner was developed for Overlanding and replaces the Fox QS3 dampers found on the TRD Pro with Old Man Emu 2.5-inch ones that have ARB’s external reservoirs at the rear. With 33-inch Toyo Open Country all-terrain tires, the Trailhunter variant also sits 2.0 inches higher up front and 1.5 inches higher up back than other 4Runner models. The Trailhunter shares the same front twin control-arm suspension and rear multilink arrangement as other 2025 4Runner, except for improved dampers. In addition, the Trailhunter has a front anti-roll bar that disconnects and an electronic locking rear differential as standard equipment.

The Trailhunter includes steel skid plates and rock rails mounted straight to the frame to protect its important parts. Bronze wheels with color-matched Toyota grille badging and a bespoke ARB roof rack made especially for the 4Runner Trailhunter are two further distinctive visual components. A 20-inch LED light strip is also located in the grille to brighten up dark trails, and the bumper’s rigid LED fog lamps have a color-changing feature.

Additionally, Toyota outfitted the Trailhunter with a 2400-watt AC inverter that supplies power to outlets located in both the rear cargo area and the cabin. Owners can simply add even more personalization to their SUVs with the three pre-wired auxiliary switches, and the i-Force Max powertrain provides a 6000-pound tow capability. Inside, the Trailhunter differs from its more usual siblings thanks to trim-specific components.

In the fall of this year, the is expected to start showing up at dealerships. Pricing has not yet been announced, but we anticipate the Trailhunter to be in the upper end of the spectrum, costing approximately $60,000.

2025 4runner price: Right now the price of the 2025 Toyota 4Runner is expected to start around $45,000 and go up to $60,000 depending on the trim. With rumors of a complete redesign including a new platform, powertrains, and updated design, the next-gen 2025 Toyota 4Runner is shaping up to be a great improvement over previous models.

6th Gen 4runner

The 6th Gen 4runner off-road SUV had a successful 15-year run, but the sixth-gen’s new powertrains and upgraded frame make it easy to move on.

Identical to a Tacoma SUV More Than Before

Although the 4Runner’s new front-end design isn’t a Tacoma copy, it does look a lot like one. With a bigger track and three more inches of total body width, its posture is also similar. Similar to the Tacoma, the majority of the additional width is derived from pronounced fender flares that extend further to conceal the wider track of the suspension. The Toyo Open Country AT III tires installed on the TRD Pro and Trailhunter are sized at 265/70R-18, which corresponds to 33 inches tall, however, many precise measurements have not yet been disclosed.

Like the Tacoma, the 4Runner’s wheelbase has been extended up front to provide greater body-mount clearance, making larger tires of this kind possible. Due to the area’s relative lack of daylight, it was difficult to fit larger tires into earlier models of both vehicles. This translates to a 2.4-inch increase in wheelbase for the 4Runner (from 109.8 to 112.2 inches), putting it in line with the new Land Cruiser, the Lexus GX550, and even the Lexus LX600. The rear side window’s upper border rolls into the roof in a nod to the 4Runner’s first- and second-generation predecessors, while the vehicle’s new style jogs up past the rear doors farther back, giving the impression that its rear haunches are even more powerful.

The center stack, instrument cluster, and every button, switch, and knob within are all the same as those in the new Tacoma, including the controls for the part-time four-wheel-drive transfer case (full-time on the Platinum and some Limited models). Some models come with the same 14.0-inch infotainment touchscreen as standard, while others just have it available. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Aside from the differing material and color selections for the TRD Pro and Trailhunter versions we evaluated, the overall inside style is also identical. This is excellent news because our recent test of the Tacoma TRD Off-Road demonstrated how well-thought-out, practical, and simple to use the inside is.

Two Familiar New Engines

The 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four i-Force, which powers the toyota 4 runner, shares the same 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque as the Tacoma. This engine will be the only one available for the SR5 and TRD Sport, and it will be the standard configuration for the TRD Off-Road and Limited. It will only be backed by an eight-speed automatic. In a recent comparison test between a Tacoma TRD Off-Road and a Chevy Colorado ZR2, we were very satisfied with this combination. The i-FORCE performed admirably, matching the much more powerful Chevy step for step and clocking in at the same 6.8-second 60-mph pace.

The 4.0-liter V-6 engine of the departing 4Runner, on the other hand, only generated 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque, and because of the outdated five-speed automatic transmission it is mated to, it feels lazier than that shortfall suggests. Although the new model’s fuel efficiency is unknown, it will undoubtedly surpass that of the thirsty V-6/five-speed combination.

2025 Toyota 4Runner

Latest Tech

4Runner receives Toyota’s latest technology with new screens. A new 8-inch or available 14-inch multimedia touchscreen displays Toyota’s latest Audio Multimedia system, which is designed and engineered by Toyota’s Texas-based Connected Technologies team. The system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ compatibility and pairs well with the available Qi wireless charging pad with enhanced power output. A USB-C data and charging port is integrated on the right side of the multimedia touchscreen, and dual USB-C charging ports are included in the front row and available for the rear passengers. A 7-inch gauge cluster is standard on lower grades and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is standard on higher grades.

Smart Key System with push-button start is standard in all grades. With an active Remote Connect trial or subscription, an available Digital Key on select grades connects with compatible smartphones to allow vehicle entry, and vehicle starting (4G network dependent). The Digital Key can also be remotely shared with others to give more control over vehicle access rather than giving someone the physical key. 

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 Standard

All 2025 4Runner models come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Toyota’s suite of active safety and convenience systems. This suite of features includes: 

  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection 
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist 
  • Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
  • Lane Tracing Assist
  • Road Sign Assist
  • Automatic High Beams
  • Proactive Driving Assist 

The latest addition to Toyota Safety Sense is Proactive Driving Assist. When system operating parameters are fulfilled, Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) employs the camera and radar in the vehicle to help with driving tasks such as maintaining space between your vehicle and an oncoming car, pedestrian, or bike by gently applying brakes and/or steering. Additionally, PDA can offer gradual braking into corners. Proactive Driving Assist functions differently from the Pre-Collision System and should not be used in place of it.

Including the addition of Proactive Driving Assist, the Toyota Safety Sense features have been enhanced for TSS 3.0: 

  • The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection has enhanced detection capabilities thanks to new system sensors. It receives enhanced intersection support with improved detection capability in certain circumstances. In addition to pedestrian and bicyclist detection, this system now includes the capability to detect a motorcyclist. 
  • Lane Departure Alert will now provide Steering Assist as well as enhanced lane recognition that includes the detection of certain 3D objects, like guardrails, that may be used to help define the lane. 
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control will have Full-Speed Range capability and add a fourth following distance setting, from the previously available three. Enhanced vehicle detection allows for the ability to detect more than one preceding vehicle, as well as vehicles in adjacent lanes. This helps the system to provide smoother, more natural speed adjustments, especially when the driver changes lanes.
  • Lane Tracing Assist requires Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to be enabled for it to function. The system requires detectable lane markings to function. Like Lane Departure Alert, lane recognition is enhanced over prior TSS generations. In addition to lane centering, this system also helps provide more space between vehicles being passed in adjacent lanes. It works by offsetting the vehicle’s driving path with minor steering adjustments while keeping the vehicle within its lane.
  • An Emergency Driving Stop System is a new function of Lane Tracing Assist. It’s designed to monitor the driver’s inputs, such as steering operation, to determine if they’re inattentive or non-responsive, such as during a medical emergency. This feature is designed to bring the vehicle to a stop if the driver doesn’t respond to alerts to take control.
  • Road Sign Assist is designed to detect speed limit signs, stop signs, Do Not Enter signs, yield signs, and certain warning signs, and display an icon of the sign on the Multi-Information Display (MID). 

In addition to TSS 3.0, two other features are available: Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), which is designed to help detect and warn you of vehicles approaching or positioned in the adjacent lanes; and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA), which helps detect vehicles approaching from either side while backing out and alerts you with a visual and auditory warning. In addition, Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) is a standard function.
