He said, ‘Go to this people and say, “You listen but never understand, and you will look and look but never see!For this people’s heart has become calloused, and their ears can barely hear, and they have shut their eyes so that they may never see with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn and let me heal them.”’ - Acts 28:26-27

Please share more information like this at a more frequent manner. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Freak-when-I-ask-question(?): What was before the Higgs Field, how did particles behave there? When did the Higgs field approximately arise after the Big Bang ?

Thank you for the explanations in layman terms.

Great explanation Professor ❤️❤️❤️😍😍

Well done! These series definitely helped me understand the phenomena I thought I could never be able to understand in the first place. Thank you!

What experimental data suggested that the Higgs field is what gives mass to particles?

very nice videos thanks

My question is if there would be iny theoretical means of stablizing the Higgs Bozon? Maybe somehow creating an area of stable energy in the range of its creation and somehow containing it. And if it would be theoretically possible what would be the implications of doing so, would the higgs be able to be interacted with in iny way or is its existance purly a hypothetical picture of the Higgs feild

Has the gluon been detected ? Also Consider this when the protons collide do they split from high energy releasing gluons? Are those gluons under class Boson that pull other boson types (higgs) out of the higgs field around us all.

Thank you.

interesting way to determine higgs boson, however what are the probabilities that what was found was not higgs but some thing else or induced by mathmetical and\or process error?

Can you please make a video about the relationship between higgs and light?

That's what I needed to hear a higgs boson is a wave like a little wave in the higgs field

Please Reply ! I have a little confusion here, Turn on the English Caption, at 2:00 , the caption is showing : "If a particle decays into two PHOTONS" but at 2:03, the caption is showing : "two massless BOSONS".
@kathakalinaskar8605 3 years ago

What are the other particles which the higgs boson decay into? And why do they decay into different particles? I mean why not always a photon?
@krishbansal3665 3 years ago

Hi @CERN i want to ask where can we find the papers for higgs boson
