Understanding the Higgs Boson
from Quantum Field Theory with Dr. Rodeny A. Brooks · host Dr. Rodney A. Brooks
Dr. Rodney Brooks shows why the Higgs boson is a field, not a particle. To be more specific, the Higgs boson is a quantum of the Higgs field. In fact, the discovery of the Higgs boson is a final piece of evidence that validates quantum field theory, a theory that is often misunderstood or neglected.
