the most exciting scientific observation of 2012

a particle named after physicist Peter Higgs.

The Higgs bosons are wiggles in the field,

But how does this field give mass to particles?

challenged physicists to invent a simple way

The prize was a bottle of quality champagne.

The winning explanation went something like this:

filled with particle physics researchers.

This crowd of physicists represents the Higgs field.

and they could very easily cross the room

The tax collector wouldn't interact with the crowd

that some particles don't interact with the Higgs field.

Now, suppose that Peter Higgs entered the same room,

Because he interacts strongly with the crowd,

how does the Higgs boson fit into all of this?

Now suppose someone pops their head in the door

People near the door will hear the rumor,

so they'll move closer to the door to ask.

they will return to their original positions

but people further away will then ask what's going on.

This clump is analogous to the Higgs boson.

all particles are equal until they enter the room.

Both Peter Higgs and the tax collector have zero mass.

Mass comes from interactions with a field.

depending on how it interacts with a field,

just like different people will move through the crowd

at different speeds depending on their popularity.

And the Higgs boson is just a clump in the field,

Continuing research will tell us if we found it,
