It's July 4 2012 and it seems that Cern have announced the apparent discovery of something with an effective mass of approximately 125GeV.Could it be the Higgs boson,the so called God particle(or goddammit particle as some prefer to call it)or could it be something else?I haven't seen any detailed reports yet but it seems quite interesting so I might look into it.
Yes,I have just decided to extend my knowledge of the standard model and do a bit more reading up on it.Before I do so just one question comes to mind:
If the Higgs boson is instrumental in setting up the Higgs field which is instrumental in endowing particles with mass then from where does the mass of the Higgs boson come from?
(I know what you're thinking.You're thinking that I'm just being daft or trying to wind you up.If you're not thinking that you could be thinking something else)
