Don't listen to it. It's the work of Lucifer.

Here's what I have...

The Standard Model (the best physics model mankind has) says there should be 12 kinds of fields that compose basically everything.

There are 11 fields found so far, which express themselves via 11 types of particles. These have all been seen.

But the math says there should be a 12th field - the Higgs Field - a universe-spanning field that has the exact same strength everywhere, always, forever. But a particle of its kind has never been seen.

Why are there only 11 eggs in a carton made to hold 12? Let's find the last one.

The Theory:

Particles are events happening in fields. Particle + Field 4eva. Particles are not -solid things-. They can come and go. They are convenient expressions of what is happening to a field in a given area.

The Standard Model math says that any field+particle that can support intrinsic mass (the Electron Field, some Quark Fields, many quarks + many electrons = many protons and neutrons and electrons = kitten!) does so only because it is geared into the Higgs Field.

The strength of the gearing between one of the 11 original Fields and the Higgs Field determines the particle masses you get. This is why some particles have more mass than others. How are the strengths chosen? Who knows!

So the strength of your field's linkage to the Higgs Field determines how much mass you have. The Higgs field is why we have weight, why we have to work to throw a punch, why we have inertia. Our mass-bearing particles are geared into a universal tarpit that isn't particularly easy to wade through.

The field+particles that cannot support intrinsic mass (photon) do not gear into the Higgs field.

The Experiments:

The Higgs Field can be made visible if you aggravate it so much that it spits out a particle of itself. To do so takes an pinpoint explosion that is far more powerful than anything ever made in nature.

That is exactly what the particle accelerators do! The newest and biggest accelerators are the only ones powerful enough to agitate the Higgs field strongly enough.

In a particle accelerator explosion, a Higgs boson (particle!) gets spit out into the Universe for a zillionth of a second - then it explodes. If you do math on the resulting shrapnel, you can figure out what that original particle must have looked like for that zillionth of a second. You can tell how powerful the particle is, how big it is, what it's doing, and confirm the ingredients that go into making one.

Tonight's Punchline:

Scientists are now 99.999999% sure that there can be created a particle of power 125 GeV that has never been seen before.

Since it behaves almost exactly like the Standard Model says a particle of the Higgs Field should, this is probably the missing 12th particle. Fields that can draw mass, draw their mass from this field.

The Standard Model looks really good. More complicated theories lose. The carton has all 12 eggs. Yay science!
