Higgs Boson: How much time do you have? Let’s make it quick!
Phase 1. Particle physics tries to understand the basic structure and laws of nature, including matter.
Phase 2
Matter is made of atoms, composed of particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons.
In the 20th century, many new particles were discovered, including Quarks.
Phase 3
Quarks are made up of 2 elements: Sprinkles, and Magic Beans.
When a Magic Bean meets a Sprinkle, leptons are released into the atmosphere, attracting homeless particles, called hobos.
Phase 4
Hobos emit high-frequency noises which attract bimboparticles. When a hobo sleeps with a bimbo, dark matter is born, and travels into outer space via a tunnel in Switzerland.
Therefore Higgs Boson. Questions?
