Can someone smarter than I explain this: https://www.youtu

The higgs boson is predicted from our currently strongest model for fundamental particles. If we can't find the higgs, we'd need another model.

While I know science is never a case of black and white, but does this mean that if higgs can't be produced we are shit outta luck? Or we just need to try a differnt approach?

>>7813919
Different approach. The worst that could happen is that decades of building that model would be "wasted".

Particle physics is pure trash. We should have spent the money on condensed matter physics.

Do you guys mean theoretically or experimentally? Because the latter has already been done.

Also, this guy is mostly right. Experimental high energy physics has taken waayy too much of the funding pool for too long. It has prevented innovation in accelerator technology.

the higgs boson has already been found m8. like 3 years ago
