    Marvelous video series. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
  • 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

    Peter Higgs died on 4/8/2024. A great loss to the scientific community. You did a great job RIP!

    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 ?
  • 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.
  • @outcastatsabre
    Thanks for these videos, excellent production and presentation!
  • 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
  • @tdevinda
    Thank you for the explanations in layman terms.
  • @premaseem8914
    This, only This series pacify my thirst about Higgs detection, Thanks🙏🌹❤ a lot cern for this video
  • @mazharmemon
    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
  • @aryanhs9123
    How did you calculate isospin and weak isospin of Higgs boson
  • 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!

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