Higgs Quotes

In fact, there is something puzzling about the Higgs mass we now do observe. It is generally known as the "hierarchy problem.” Since it is the Higgs mass that sets the scale for the masses of all other known elementary particles, one might guess that it should be similar to another mass that plays a fundamental role in physics, the so-called Planck mass, which is the fundamental unit of mass in the theory of gravitation. (It is the mass of hypothetical particles whose gravitational attraction for one another would be as strong as the electric force between two electrons separated by the same distance.) But the Planck mass is about a hundred thousand trillion times larger than the Higgs mass. So, although the Higgs particle is so heavy that a giant particle collider was needed to create it, we still have to ask, why is the Higgs mass so small? (Steven Weinberg)

The top quark was discovered in 1995 and since then the Higgs has become an because the standard model was incomplete with out it. View quote

The standard model longs for the Higgs particle in order to be a sound theory. View quote

Physicists have yet to understand why the Higgs boson's mass is what it is. View quote
