I recently made a video about the search for the Higgs boson particle, and on that video therea lot of commentsthat basically just said: "Uh, what is this thing?"You often hear people say that the Higgsgives things mass and that istheoretically, technically true. But why does there have to be something thatgives other things mass? You also hear it called the god particle.I kinda dislike this personally – but without understanding quantum mechanicsand field theory and the standard model, it's hard to get any deeper than thatand understanding those things is really complicated. So it's hard to explain,but you asked for it, so here it is!So, you know about forces. Electromagnetism is the most common forcein our daily lives. We see...
