What Is the “God Particle”?

- “The God Particle” is a sexy name, but many physicists absolutely hate it. It’s also led people to think that maybe the discovery of the Higgs boson has something to do with the search for God, but it doesn’t. Its discovery isn’t evidence of any sort of higher being and that’s not why scientists were searching for it. In Part 1 of this series about the Higgs boson, Julian takes an in-depth look at this discovery.

The particle’s discovery may not resolve the debate about God, but it was nonetheless a huge advancement of our understanding of the universe. The Higgs Boson made the behavior of other particles we’ve discovered make sense, it explained how atoms could exist and stars could shine. It was the last big piece of a fantastically complex jigsaw puzzle, and it’s not like scientists had a picture on a box to guide them.
The Higgs Boson was the last piece of a puzzle, and in a literal sense that’s true. It was the last particle predicted by the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which is our framework for organizing and describing elementary particles.
The Standard Model is split into two main groups. One group is the fermions, which are particles like electrons and quarks, the building blocks of protons and neutrons. The other group is the bosons, which particles use to exchange energy.
Photons, Gluons, and the W and Z bosons are called gauge bosons. Then there’s the Higgs boson, which is special. It’s not the boson itself that’s so important, but its existence points to something larger that solves a big problem with the standard model.

The Man Who Coined 'The God Particle' Explains: It Was A Joke!
www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-w...
“We've explained it many times: Physicists are irked when we in the media call the Higgs Boson, "The God Particle." The Higgs is important because the elusive subatomic particle is believed to give everything its mass. But as Marcelo Gleiser - of NPR's 13.7 - explained, the nickname doesn't quite explain the particle because while it "does have something of a centralizing influence," it's "nothing quite divine."”
DOE Explains...the Standard Model of Particle Physics
www.energy.gov/science/doe-ex...
“The Standard Model of Particle Physics is scientists’ current best theory to describe the most basic building blocks of the universe. It explains how particles called quarks (which make up protons and neutrons) and leptons (which include electrons) make up all known matter. It also explains how force carrying particles, which belong to a broader group of bosons, influence the quarks and leptons.”
The Higgs boson
home.cern/science/physics/hig...
“A problem for many years has been that no experiment has observed the Higgs boson to confirm the theory. On 4 July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider announced they had each observed a new particle in the mass region around 125 GeV.”

A joke. A Higg's Boson walks into a church, causing an uproar. "You can't come in here, calling yourself the God Particle!" Calmly, it responds "Then how do you have Mass?"
Cute, lol
Honestly, not bad
🤣🤣🤣
God=energy
Bro in vedic science. people of India used to say gods are in every atoms are particles from 1000s Oyears ago.
Modern science is just discovering that is already discovered by ancient Indian scientists rishi muni.
Even the newton laws of motion is stolen and already mentioned in rishi kanad's vaisheshika sutra was written in Sanskrit.(that was written in 2nd century).
Oh man, he had the perfect chance to say "smash" that like button at the end, right after he said smashing particles.
Yeah haha
HOW DID I MISS THAT OPPORTUNITY???
@@jhug111 lol, i was so sure you would.
@@eyeln9ne696 pretty sure this means I have to relinquish my job to you now. Good luck with the channel!
@@jhug111 No thanks, I'm no good speaking on camera. Honestly though, i love the channel, and i think you're a great host. Keep kickin' ass my friend.
This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and I'm so glad I did. Great content and pacing, love how you pulled everything together with its history and context. I hit subscribe half-way through, and clicked the bell too at the end. Thank you!! ♡
I have studied quantum physics I have listened to lecture after lecture after lecture of the entire particle zoo and your explanation breakdown is the best one I've ever heard to help you actually remember it and keep that knowledge. I still need to hear it a few more times lol
This is one of the most encouraging complements I have ever gotten on a youtube channel. Thank you so much for saying so.
I feel the same way and will listen to this, and subsequent videos more than once.
so a creations without a brain is a lie , and man knows , lol yeah right , how can you explain omnipotent , when you're not gods , shouldn't god herself or itself explain itself , a child , not an adult , where does man have the time to think like a child ? , no way a child now not some grown any creation , this is of thought and words , pictures in the book without words , that man fashioned , all of this was based on actions
God=Energy
@@johnyoutube6746 funny, you can arrive at the same conclusion after watching NDE testimonials.
My life would be so different if I understood all these things. :-( I’m envious of all the people that are good at Science and Math. Much love and admiration to you all!
If these things were understood, research would be obsolete. If you want to try, go ahead. The more, the merrier!
@@morgengabe1 I’ve tried and tried, but Mathematics has always been my worst subject even though I admired it very much. I’m mediocre at Science as well. 😣 I do, however, excel in the fine arts and social sciences areas.
My brother is a genius but he can’t figure out the difference between hot sauce and ketchup.
God=Energy
Me too kinda wonder if it's lies too😢 there are so many lies
I’ve been watching quantum physics videos on TH-cam for years and this one is by far the best one I’ve seen. It helped me connect things together much more clearly.
This must have been so much work putting this video together. Thank you ❤️
Are you being sarcastic? Every science channel in existence has talked about Higgs Boson many times over for the last decade
“Because a neutron, which, as the name suggests…”
Me: *nodding because everyone else is nodding*
Still think that the Higgs Boson also binds matter to time. And that also contributes to the existance of gravity, which is an acceleration of matter through time, not exactly a force that pulls matter towards it as we perceive it.
Wow - I was historically poor at Math and Science growing up (I always thought due to my ADHD), but that explanation just made absolute perfect sense. Wow! Well done! You have my subscription.
Dudee that's my issue too lol
Made it super simple for everyone to understand. While adding his sense of humor to it.
the "goddamn particle"😂, thanks man for the hard work and accurate explantions you try to pass onto us simple beeings.
thanks for this informative video! i will be watching this series in the mornings to start my day with awesomeness! very well made!
Enjoyed the enthusiasm of the speaker. Was somewhat confusing for my Brain, but I stayed with the lecture and feel I learned a lot, somewhere! I am not giving up on learning more, I am fascinated with this area of Science.....Much Thanks!
In depth, math, jargon, concepts, blow my mind!
Great introduction to the subject!
very well explained.
watched till the end.
writing on a board would be making further clarity.
Thanks for bringing out the value of the Higgs Boson. 🌹
I wouldn't mind you delving a bit deeper in to the nitty gritty details of particles and forces, as much as is possible without math. These videos always end too soon :)
Regarding particles, I believe the delving would more properly be referred to as the itty bitty nitty gritty.
So cool, thanks for laying it all out.
When he said "but first..." I was expecting a sponsor read. I'm glad I was wrong.
*Think of how fun you’ll be at parties*
Me at parties using nuclear physics: Hey girl, are you a proton? Because I’m going crazy all around you…get it? I’m an electron _gets slapped in the face_
I think, and this is just my own theory, the graviton is locked up in spacetime itself. If you could produce gravitational waves of high enough frequency or energy, I believe spacetime itself would radiate gravitons the way electromagnetism radiates photons. Probably other Particles would radiate as well like perhaps and this is my term: Chronotons or particles of time. So perhaps spacetime itself is a field in which some kind of particles are hiding and waiting to be discovered. I plan on writing a paper as soon as I work out some details.
U may very well be right
Nice idea
Perhaps, blackholes are the gravitons?
Great divulgation, ty.
great work very informative
Science like this actually strengthens my belief in God. The way the universe operates, the wonders of how it all functions. Love it.
God killed Himself so that everyone could go to Hell. That is why I pray to Satan.

Damn Pauli throwing hardballs at Yang from the gallery.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Great content
I swear, at the end the discussion jumped from speaking of the W to the Z, but perhaps that's just the nature of the particles. Or maybe the W proves the mass of the Z or, damn, I have to watch this eleventy more times just to get it to stick.
I thought I was the only one 😂
If they change the name of that book back to ‘the goddamn particle’ I’ll buy it and read it.
easy video to follow for novices I loved it !
What did Higgs say when he saw his first car crash ..... what a Big Bang! 😟😂🤣
Good explanation! I was not clear on the Higgs Boson, now I understand better! Thank you!
Loved it!
Got any info on a classic element Aether?
Clearing up the clickbait title first does count for something, and to be honest most of us are watching the video because of that so it worked. I don't count it as clickbait if it works and the content is good.
You need to add seeker plus to the original seeker's "channels" section so this channel is easier to find.
please do a video on QUANTUM MAGNETISM because i’ve never found anything on it anywhere
"The god particle a name physicists hate" This is the problem with science. I am so sick of scientists' jargon, their refusal to participate in public communication and just the general elitism in the field. Scientists should be required to spend pro Bono hours communicating science to the public in order to get research grants and jargon should be eliminated from all of science and replaced with layman speak. Maybe then we would t have a public so distrustful of science and disengaged with the field.
Exactly them we cam see how life and science really connects..
Love that you folks are back, but you really need some room tone or music to hide the audio edits, it’s real noticeable on headphones.
Oh that's for letting me know, I'll be sure to grab room tone next time we record an episode (but you may have to deal with the cuts for the 2 or 3 we've already shot).
Thanks for this summation! I always thought the Higgs Boson was called the god particle because it was “the missing link….” Then, a few months ago I heard the actual explanation, minus one detail that you shared. Thanks for the candid explanation.
Nice talk! Thanks
Thanks for tricking me into learning about particle physics. I had fun
How do you survive in the desert? Physicists: *invents a particle*
big dog can see the damn particle with them micron electroscope ass glasses. great video, thanks for the info bro
It’s the force that allows particles to find where they were before. and hook up with particles they were with the last time they travel through space time
10: 03 - It should be possible to excite this field to create mass, or matter. (Order Matter: in example, create a new hand).
An all encompassing field which causes particles to consist.
The only reason I know some of the theories you mentioned, is from watching The Big Bang Theory on TV. I did find this interesting though. I'd like to understand it better. Thanks.
It's the resonance of the carbon particle that make one wonder who is playing with physics.
5:46 Why does the idea that all forces arise from symmetries mean all bosons wouldn't have a mass?
I suggest reading some of Alexander Unzicker's books and watching some of his you tube videos.
This is kinda already mentioned in Indian Vedas. Every calculation and explanations are mentioned in Vedas which scientists are searching now
amazing detail.... enjoyed it
i can simplfy this for everyone....
it doesnt matter if its micro or macro scale
proton = charged = sun +1
neutron = neutral = moon 0
ion = ground = earth -1
all 3 make atom
red shift blue shift is positive negative
the universe is electromagnetic
any questions?
This talks suggests to me that, just as with the idea of the existence God, physicists just aren't able to see it yet, but luckily, they will inevitably get there in the end. :)
Your Seeker+ videos are always informative, thanks! :-D But I'm not clear if the Higgs Boson is particle or a field - I've heard a lot of conflicting explanations regarding this; not from you but from other articles and videos. Perhaps Higgs is the field and the Boson is the particle? At any rate, thanks for all your work! :-D
In my understanding, The Higgs Boson is a particle, and the implication is that there must be a field.
A bit like you can see the tree moving, so therefore there must be a wind blowing.
With Higgs boson being the tree, and the wind is the Higgs field...
@@DForce26 Thank you for the clarification - The analogy does help. Best!
@@ShannonMcDowell71 @Peter Lelieveld That's a good analogy, but it's actually a bit backwards. Higgs proposed a field that could explain why gluons appeared to "have mass" and thus short range. But in such a field, strong and localized enough excitations can result in a particle. It's the same (not exactly, but close) principle as the electromagnetic force, where the photon is an excitation in the EM field. A rather closer analogy I can think of is this. Take a wide bucket or pan filled with water. The water, left alone, is still and smooth. That's the field in its ground state, it's not excited. Start shaking the whole thing, ripples will form. These ripples are excitations in the field. Now shake it even harder and some of these ripples will be powerful enough that they'll shoot a water droplet in the air, which will fall back down in the water right after. These droplets are the particle emerging from a local excitation in the field, and the falling back down is their quick decay. Hope this helps!
@@959tolis626 Thank you, it does help quite a bit!
@@959tolis626 That is good analogy Apostolis, indeed good... and, it can work for other particles, I wonder if that can work for virtual particles that appear in the vacuum... poli orea! mpravo! :)
I look forward to the next statement of this episode or should I say you're stringing us along
Lol. I am loving these corny science jokes :)
I NEED MORE
Yes more
Please
According to the General relativity mass and energy are interchangeable so, why not to suppose that Gluons arise from the electromagnetic energy interactions between quarks in such a way field energy turns into rest mass energy ?
God=energy
@@johnyoutube6746 yes buddy, you're right...energy convertible to matter via
E = mc^2
@@onderozenc4470
In the beginning there was a word/energy and the word was God
The word made flesh
The energy evolve into human
You are the word made flesh
There is no debate to be had about God. He is who he says he is. Simple as that.
That makes zero sense. Why does “god” the cosmic all or whatever the force is have a gender. “He says he is” to whom? Who did he say it to and how do you know it wasn’t a delusion
Many references to God and His creation in the Bible (other than Genesis). One in particular:
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him. - Colossians 1:16
So basically physics is just proposing random stuff and hoping it sticks
The first time I heard about the Higgs Boson explained it sounded like the old ether from the late 18 hundreds
Have you done a video on the double slit experiment yet? If not, you really should. But you must have already done so.

"the last big piece of a ... puzzle"
Well, I think animation had helped.
Also, it will be easier to understand when full(er) understanding gets.
Thanks
Your history was appreciated.
We have so much more to theories to prove, understand. It will be easier to explain when all pieces fit together, like.
What happened to string theory?
When I project an energy at a distant tree and make it move ,is it the Higgs boson I am using?

Sticking it out until the end though anyway!
Edit: Glad I did!
Thank - you .
Mass is spin. End of. The experience of mass is simply the resistance of a spinning informations systems change in vector, to change its 'galactic plane' changes the information in the system, this information change/exchange is experienced physically as a resistance to movement. Once the system equalises/rebalances its information exchange, it regains its state of inertia. Thus, inertia and mass are technical expressions of the same thing....... Mass being the total information in the spining system, and loss of inertia being the differential of information exchange due to an interaction with another system.......
Stop making shit up, and stop using words with your own imaginary meanings. Or else you're going to sound like Deepak chopra or Jordan peterson
i had a dream last night where i say tony stark in his iron man suit. but he didnt have the helmet on and i saw that he had these weird markings on his face and saw tears in his eyes. then all of a sudden a woman walked up to me and told me he solved the god particle. lol it was weird af.
The Higgs Boson particle is the individual. If someone creates a video game, who created the game? The creator.
He was cruising around in his own Camaro when it hit him? Damn, what a world. D:

I remember following the search for the Higgs Boson in the news and then I ended up being away at Summer camp without internet access when they did find it 😂
So dark matter probably has its own field and it's so uncondensed that it can pass through anything......
The Force that counters gravity is gravity itself it's made up of uncondensed pieces and more condensed pieces and the more condensed pieces can pass through the less condensed pieces but they can't leave the particle because the overwhelming pull ... And the center pulls the more condensed pieces back after they collide in center back to collide with other condensed particles ....giving you the spin... as they pass through the particle that makes gravity
And before you say anything this is how electromagnetic charge works and if gravity is in everything then it has to basically be doing the same thing.... So if you take positive and negative charge and you get them closer together the energy is compact into one another because they become more condensed as you get closer to the center of the object causing them to pull on one another and compact into one another one charge is slightly more condensed then the other charge...and then compacts in to the other charge...
But the reason we see positive charge and positive charge bounce off each other is because they are exactly the same condensity so they can't pack into each other that's how gravity works too but gravity is more uncondensed that's why It can interact with space
Basically an electron is made up of really condensed pieces of its fields smoke liquid energy and these are probably little round piece's of energy....
😂😂 that are inside the electron and they're just condensed enough to combine to make one piece of energy or one particle... So the collide and push one another and this is why inside the particles... We see
so they collide in the center and push away from the center of the electron and the center pieces pull the on the other little pieces that are traveling away from the collision in the center.....
And gravitational pull from the pieces in the center pulls the other little pieces that are being pushed away from center of the electron...
back towards the center of the electron because of the other little pieces in the center...... Good enough my name is Dylan ray Stone
Okay so the field that makes up gravity is in all fields....
Accept space which is also its own field....
Or you could say time acts like a smoke and some pieces of the smoke are more condensed than others and whenever the more condensed pieces get close to the same pieces that are the same condenses they will collide they pull in on other fields and their own field creating a gravitational pull... Or it's another field inside the second field...
Doing the same thing as time and then basically one of those pieces becomes condensed enough it pulls on the second field.
Then the first field also pulls on its little uncondensed pieces to create what we call gravitational pull😂
So the electromagnetic field is made up of little bitty smoke liquid pieces....
And what happens is they collide and some of them are different condensities so they pull into one another....
Whenever a enough of them are compact into each other they can no longer compact energy from their field inside of themselves...
So they become one piece and become an electron but then the energy that's making up the electron is probably colliding with itself in the center and and motion from this collision in the center is probably sending energy back towards the edge of the electron but the overall pull crunches up the electron once the wave leaves so basically a little piece will fly away from the center then they get pulled back to the center..
This is using too much of my brain power, and I'm only just after halfway through, I'll save this for tomorrow

Hey can you tell why it was named as God particle ???
Laureate Leon Lederman is a physicist who won a Nobel Prize, he wrote a book on the Higgs Boson called “The God Particle” which was originally going to be titled “The Goddamn Particle” as a joke, but his publicists wouldn’t let him, hence the tamer name.
