The impact of the Higgs boson on our understanding of the origins of mass from "summary" of The God Particle by Leon M. Lederman,Dick Teresi
The Higgs boson is a key player in the drama of particle physics. Its existence, confirmed by experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012, has profound implications for our understanding of the origins of mass. Before the discovery of the Higgs boson, scientists were puzzled by the fact that particles have mass. The Higgs boson helps to explain this mystery by interacting with other particles, giving them mass as they move through the Higgs field. This concept, known as the Higgs mechanism, is crucial for our current understanding of the fundamental forces of nature. The discovery of the Higgs boson has provided experimental evidence for the existence of the Higgs field, which permeates all of space. This field is responsible for giving particles their mass, ...
