'''Bosons''' are, in technical terms, subatomic particles that obey [[Bose-Einstein statistics]]. Put more simply, bosons are subatomic particles that can occupy the same place at the same time. For the reason, bosons are normally thought of as mediators of fundamental interactions, like the electromagnetic or strong nuclear interactions, or carriers of [[radiation]]. Bosons stand in contrast to [[fermions]], which are believed to be the particles that make up ordinary matter. | '''Bosons''' are, in technical terms, subatomic particles that obey [[Bose-Einstein statistics]].
