    The Standard Model includes three of the four basic interactions in nature, the electromagnetic force, the weak force and the strong force, and the gravitational force is relatively unique and has not yet been integrated with the first three forces. After more than twenty years of heroic age from the fifties to the seventies, the three fundamental forces were successfully put into a theoretical framework by physicists in the same language, which is called quantum field theory, and the fundamental physical quantities are fields, but follow quantum theory. Therefore, the field has elementary units under the constraints of the quantum, which are elementary particles.

    The framework of the Standard Model seems very simple, all fields and particles are divided into two categories, one is called matter field and matter particles, including electrons and quarks, etc., and the other is called gauge field and gauge particles, the simplest and most typical is photons. Both the particle of matter and the canonical particle are like a spinning top, i.e., the spin, the spin of the particle of matter is 1 2, and the spin of the canonical particle is 1. Everything looks so beautiful, so simple and clean.

    One of the most important points missing from my above account is what Sheldon Glashow, one of the founders of the Standard Model, an American professor at Boston University, viciously called the Standard Model toilet, which is the Higgs particle and its coupling or interaction with all other particles. Weak and strong forces are forces in the subatomic world, which means that we cannot clearly see them at work in everyday phenomena. Weak force and strong force are usually invisible for different reasons.

    The weak force is a short-range force that has a noticeable effect only at a very small distance of 10-16 meters, because, Glashow was the first to point out that the canonical particles that transmit this force have mass, and these particles are called intermediate bosons, because they can't go far because they have mass, unlike photons. After Glashow, Steven Weinberg, an American and now a professor at the University of Texas, discovered that simply assuming that the intermediate bose has mass does not lead to a self-consistent theory, so in 1967, he used the Higgs mechanism invented by Higgs and others in 1964. In this mechanism, there are several Higgs fields, which differ from both the matter field as well as the gauge field, and their corresponding particles do not have spins.

    When the Higgs field sinks to its lowest point like a ball of steel and breaks some symmetry - these symmetries are similar to the rotational symmetry of the Mexican cap, and the Higgs field is like a point that falls on the circular groove between the top and the brim of the Mexican hat and thus breaks the rotational symmetry, the middle boson eats the three Higgs particles and becomes heavier, the middle boson gains mass, and the weak force becomes short-range. There is one of the four Higgs fields left, which has also become heavier. This remaining field is a bit like a steel ball that falls into the round groove of the Mexican cap and runs towards the top of the cap, and it takes energy to do that.

    Its corresponding particle is not charged and has no spin, which is called the God particle. <>

    It makes sense for Glashow to call the Higgs part of the Standard Model a toilet, because one of its important parameters is uncertain, and that parameter is the mass of the Higgs particle, and because we attribute the origin of mass to the existence of the Higgs particle – but we can't see or touch it. So, we can understand why physicists are struggling to discover this particle. Of course, since the Higgs particle, unlike all other particles, has no spin and also determines the properties of the vacuum, it must also contain deeper secrets of the universe, secrets that no one knows and that theoretical physicists can only speculate on by imagination.

    Therefore, the Higgs particle can be seen as a door to a new world in the dark tunnel, and we naturally want to open it. The director of CERN, the German Rolf-Dieterheuer, said slyly at a press conference on July 4: "As a physicist, I can only say that we have discovered a new particle that has never been seen before, and as a layman I would say that we have discovered the Higgs particle."

    CERN's Large Hadron Collider is currently in the final stages of its upgrade and will be restarted in about half a year, when it will operate at higher energies, when a large number of Higgs bosons will be generated, and physicists will make the final step to the discovery of the Higgs particle: it will be fully confirmed that it is the Higgs particle of the Standard Model. It is not known whether new physical phenomena will be discovered beyond the Standard Model.

    It's just that those scientists are playing with fantasies, and it doesn't make any sense at all! A bunch of old men don't know what to do when they're old, so let's study mythology and play! 3D printing has come out, and they can't imagine why energy is not superimposed by light, and people are not superimposed by light.

    If it weren't for them, how would they get man-made diamonds! Just find a fixed point, release light indefinitely, and look for the mutual habits of each light in the solar spectrum, whether it is repulsion or attraction or whatever. Gravity is avoided, and infinity can be shaped by superimposing light on a position.

    Get a collider, and you will change the trajectory of energy attraction by gravitational attraction on this side, and you will not see anything until they die, just a bunch of rubbish! I don't understand that because the universe is not conserved, as long as it rotates once, it can produce positive and negative poles, which is magnetism, because the yang side is different from the back, and the internal energy generated by the movement of matter is different, and its energy must be different. In essence, the universe is absolute zero, and if there is no light from the solar spectrum, we are in a space of absolute zero.

    In fact, from the outside of the universe, each segment of the solar spectrum contains different energy, and our earth is a celestial body with an average of 15 degrees produced by the combination of various energies! As long as the interference of gravity is solved, and the neutralization of light can be studied to keep each other without dissipating, matter can be created, and the universe will not exist in the big **! If we can destroy it, we will definitely not be able to live now, but because energy can move, there is internal energy and superposition, and it will only expand!

    The Higgs boson is a type of boson with zero spin predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics.

    It is the last undiscovered particle in the Standard Model. It can help to explain why other particles have mass.

    As early as the 1960s, the British scientist Peter Higgs theoretically proposed the possibility of the existence of the "Higgs boson". However, the actual confirmation of the existence of this particle in experiments will not be until 2013.

    In 2010, Italian physicist Tommaso Dorigo claimed that the Tevatron accelerator of Fermila in the United States may have discovered the Higgs boson. But the discovery at that time was limited to 3 standard deviations, so it was not recognized in the scientific community.

    It wasn't until 2013 that CERN confirmed the discovery of the Higgs boson with a reliability of 5 standard deviations. That's why these physicists dare to announce to the world that we have finally confirmed the existence of the "God particle".

    Why is there such a big difference between 2x standard deviation and 5x standard deviation? The reason for this is that scientists may try thousands of experiments in search of a particular discovery. In the case of the Higgs boson, the particle is theoretically produced only once every 10 billion collisions.

    Therefore, in order to confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, physicists designed particle colliders that need to repeat the collision on the quadrillion scale.

    In any experiment, there is an element of luck and therefore can also lead to false findings. The more you repeat the experiment, the more likely you are to encounter an artifact. That's why physicists need to raise the test bar to 5 standard deviations to make sure the results are statistically acceptable.

    5 times the standard deviation" rule, there is a very strong logic behind it. But this rule is not used by the financial research industry. At present, most of the quantitative research in finance still uses "2 standard deviation" as the standard for accepting experimental results.

    As a result, many financial studies have come to conclusions that do not necessarily stand up to scrutiny.

    According to Higgs's theory, the Higgs boson is the basis for the formation of mass in other particles. They swim in the "ocean" of Higgs bosons, and they are affected by their inertia and finally have mass. After that, all the particles interact with each other in the framework of three other forces in addition to gravity, and they are unified under the "Standard Model" to form a thousand worlds.

    Since the Higgs boson is the last undiscovered elementary particle, it is of great significance for perfecting the theoretical "edifice" of particle physics. Once it is falsified, the "Standard Model" theory "the edifice will fall".

    On July 4, 2012, scientists at CERN said that they had discovered a new type of subatomic particle in the process of searching for the Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle", which conforms to the properties of the Higgs boson.

    CERN spokesman Incandela said physicists had discovered a new boson that matched the properties of the Higgs boson. A boson is a "subatomic particle", that is, a particle smaller than an atom.

    The Higgs boson" theory was proposed by Higgs, a physicist at the University of Edinburgh in 1964, Higgs believed that in the big ** 13.7 billion years ago, the Higgs boson made matter gain mass (gravitational force turns mass into weight), so that stars and planets can be born, and eventually give birth to life. This theory explains why particles have mass and thus evolve into everything. Humanity may be a big step away from understanding the mystery of the birth of the universe.

    Explain to a 10-year-old that you can say that this particle is a "God particle" that gives mass (weight) to other particles.

    Here's what I've put together. (You don't need to tell him about the following, you can understand it yourself).

    About the Higgs boson.

    The Higgs boson is the source of mass of matter (hypothetical, its existence or not has not yet been proven), and is the basis for the formation of mass by electrons, quarks, etc.

    The Higgs Boson is a type of elementary particle predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. The Standard Model predicts 62 elementary particles, and the Higgs boson is the last one to be experimentally confirmed.

    The Higgs boson is named after the physicist Peter Higgs, and is also known as the "God particle" in the mass media because it plays an extremely important role in the fundamental properties of elementary particles. The Higgs boson is a mass boson that has no spin, is uncharged, is very unstable, and decays immediately after being generated.

    Why do some elementary particles have mass and some have zero mass? The Higgs mechanism of the Standard Model can explain this problem. According to the Higgs mechanism, the Higgs field is found throughout the universe, and some elementary particles gain mass because of their interaction with the Higgs field, but at the same time, the Higgs boson is a by-product.

    The Higgs field is like a pool of sticky honey that adheres to elementary particles that do not yet have mass. When these particles pass through the Higgs field, they become particles with mass.

    In the Standard Model**, there is a field that pervades space called the Higgs field.

    By selecting the appropriate specification, the zero-mass Goldstone boson can be removed, leaving only the band-mass pure magnitude field (Higgs boson) and the band-mass gauge vector field (w and z bosons). This whole process is called the Higgs mechanism. This is the simplest of all the possible mechanisms that can give quality to gauge bosons, while at the same time respecting gauge theory.

    In the Standard Model, the Higgs field consists of two neutral and two charged component fields.

    Since the Higgs field is a pure quantity field, the Higgs particle does not have spin and therefore has no intrinsic angular momentum. The Higgs particle is its own antiparticle and has cp-evenness.

    Yours is my greatest affirmation.
