Higgs Boson — John Ellis / Serious Science

Physicist John Ellis on what the Higgs boson is and the history of its discovery

"There was a theory proposed by Peter Higgs and colleagues in 1964 which predicted that there would be a universal field throughout all of space and there would be a quantum of that field that came to be called the Higgs boson."

Perhaps it's just me, but actually the Higgs mech isn't about giving masses to particles other than the W and Z bosons; that extra coupling to the quarks and leptons in his pullover is a quirk of the GWS theory, really
BTW, I believe a nicer analogy for the physics here is that classical demonstration of eddy currents using swinging metal plates ;)

1:25 by "Peter Higgs and his colleagues" Who are the colleagues? Tell the world.

We measured some things. John Ellis explains phlogiston theory for the 21st century.

Isn’t that dude the Mandela Effect dude with the cardboard sign?

Radioactivity is a lesser form of itself being residual from it's more flame-boyant atomic form. The nucleus are charged electrons of atomization governed by a weak force of gravity with weight condense correspondence of influential concentration of manifestation of energized charged unit of electron switches . Like compressed gas clouds of disk formation gravity transforming into star formation creating a blazing star that''ll eventually turn into a neutron star blazing radiation in the aftermath.

I wonder if the density of the Higgs field varies accounting for a dark fluid (the combined effects of dark matter (attraction) and dark energy (repulsive)) above or below a given universal constant.
