Search for the ‘W’ And ‘Z’, The

Synopsis: The successful creation and detection of ‘W’ and ‘Z’ particles was the culmination of the work of hundreds of scientists and was recognised by the awarding of Noble prizes for the two team leaders. It was the first direct evidence predicted from the theory that at least two of the fundamental forces (the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces) were indistinguishable at very high energies. All of the four known forces of nature may all have originally been unified (gravity, electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear force) an ultimate goal for theoretical physicists to prove.

They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
