I find it very difficult to understand and much more explain what the Higgs' Boson. And it seems that, and although the particle is known as the God particle, the truth is that in the 90s it was called the damn particle (The Goddam particle) in a book of dissemination of the Nobel Prize in physics Leo Lederman that I think was not published with that attractive title.
So it is very difficult to verify the thesis defended by the English physicist Peter Higgs, who along with other colleagues, theorized about the possibility that the whole space is filled with a field that interacts with the fundamental particles: protons, neutrons, electrons and smaller particles. In any case the following presentation, seen in Microsiervos, in addition to explaining many things (although it is in English) in a pedagogical way and being very beautiful, helps to understand many things about the damn particle, the God particle or simply the Higgs Boson .
The animation is called Particles 01: The Higgs Boson, the author is James Sutton and explains in a simple and visual way what the Higgs boson is and how the mechanism to which it belongs works and by which, according to this model, elementary particles acquire mass.
The importance of the Higgs boson is because, as the animation indicates, without it nothing could exist, that is, we would scatter or float or we would only be particles. Thrilling.
And the beauty of this is that some of our children may be the one who picks up the witness of these scientists who want to explain reality and work passionately on it. If we also come out as Feynman, a great scientist and great disseminator of science, then much better.
