[Anubis]

i know what a boson is, but i dont know what a bozon is if its a different then a boson.

a boson is the fundamental particale of a higgs field in quantum mechanics which is what gives sub atomic particles mass. sicentists haven't been able to prove if they exist or not but if they do they will prove the standard model true.

A unit of stupidity or foolisness, after Bozo the Clown.

Firesign Theater aside, did you mean "boson" as in an elementary particle?

No, thats a Higgs.

Bosons are one of two particle types, and they obey Bose statitistics. The other that does not are Fermions.

Edit... fergot that the Higgs is postulated to be a boson, however not all bosons are Higgs.
