![]() The Higgs boson was included even though the experimental confirmation had to wait 30 years. The publisher did accept it as an appeal to potential Readers, and the rest is history. Teresi told Lederman that publishers never used any title he suggested, so it became the working title. Lederman drew a “funny looking picture” and jokingly referred to it as “The God Particle.” Teresi suggested that they use it as a working title for their book. It is this reason the Higgs boson is referred to as the “God particle” first introduced by Leon Lederman and Dick Teresi in the title of their 1993 book The God Particle: If the Universe is the Answer, What is the Question? The phrase “God Particle” originated as a joke, as explained by Teresi in an interview with Melissa Block (2013) on the radio show “All Things Considered.” When Teresi asked Lederman what was the ultimate particle in the Universe, of which we can make anything else. It is the interaction with the Higgs particle that all other particles gained mass. Now enter the Higgs particle, first proposed in the 1960s. Presumably this is the condition when the Universe first came into existence-symmetry prevails in a manner similar to all particles in the gas phase. Similarly symmetry in the Standard Model obtains if all of the particles are massless. The symmetry is broken if one member of the party drinks from the water glass on the right. The setting of the table is not changed if rotated by angles of 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, or 315 degree. Consider, for example, the table setting for a dinner party of eight. The Standard Model is based on symmetry principles, such as rotation. The current formulation was finalized in the mid-1970s. The Standard Model is a theory in particle physics which addresses three of the four known forces in Nature: electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force. ![]() Schmitz, in Physical Chemistry, 2017 10.14.3 The Standard Model Confidence in its eventual confirmation may be a consequence of the “beauty” of the Standard Model. The Higgs boson was included even though the experimental confirmation had to wait 30 years, it was included. The setting of the table is not changed if rotated by angles of 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees, 180 degrees, 225 degrees, 270 degrees, or 315 degrees.
