Just reading makes you questions what this Higgs Boson Particle is really about and why is it so important. Since my last formal study of Physics back in the 80's soo much has changed in this field of modern physics. Here is an two awesome little videos that describes what the Higgs field and the Higgs Boson Particle is all about --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joTKd5j3mzk --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IElHgJG5Fe4
I have three questions this week --> first, should we be concerned about the end of the universe messing this with this "God Particle" as it sometimes called?
Secondly since we are spending billions of dollars worldwide on all types of physics research; why do you think human beings are compelled to do basic research. (remember pure science). What is in our "DNA" so to speak that makes us do it?
Finally, Why is the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle important?
Big lofty questions this week.
