have you ever wondered how particles get
0:12
their Mass it's one of the fundamental
0:14
questions about the universe and it
0:16
turns out the answer is a lot more
0:19
musical than you might expect today we
0:21
dive into the cosmic Symphony of the
0:23
higs field and discover how it Tunes the
0:26
universe the universe is like a grand
0:28
musical instrument filled with various
0:31
Fields each contributing to the cosmic
0:33
Harmony one of the most fascinating of
0:36
these fields is the higs field but what
0:38
exactly is it and how does it give Mass
0:44
particles in 2012 scientists at the
0:47
Large Hadron Collider made a
0:49
groundbreaking discovery the higs bosan
0:52
this particle was the key to proving the
0:54
existence of the higs field a field that
0:57
permeates all of space but the hi field
1:00
isn't some kind of cosmic soup or
1:02
molasses instead it's more like a
1:05
conductor of a universal
1:10
Orchestra imagine a guitar string
1:12
vibrating each vibration creates a
1:15
musical note a frequency in the same way
1:19
particles are like vibrations or ripples
1:21
in their respective Fields the Hig field
1:24
is special because it gives these
1:25
vibrations their frequencies and those
1:28
frequencies in turn are what we perceive
1:30
as mass the stronger the hig's field the
1:34
higher the frequency and the greater the
1:36
mass of the particle think of a pendulum
1:39
in deep space it barely moves but in a
1:42
gravitational field it Swings with a
1:45
steady Rhythm the higs Field Works
1:47
similarly it sets up a restoring effect
1:50
that determines the frequency of each
1:56
vibration in the beginning the universe
1:59
was a searing hot soup of particles but
2:02
as it expanded and cooled the higs field
2:05
switched on much like a musical
2:07
instrument being tuned this tuning gave
2:10
particles Mass transforming the chaotic
2:12
Universe into the structured melodic
2:15
Cosmos we see today so thanks to the
2:18
higs field the universe is more than
2:20
just a collection of random particles
2:23
it's a carefully orchestrated Symphony
2:25
with each particle playing its own
2:27
unique note in the cosmic composition
2:33
the hick field is the universe's hidden
2:35
conductor ensuring every particle
2:37
vibrates in harmony it's a reminder that
2:40
even at the smallest scales our universe
2:42
is filled with rhythm and music and who
2:45
knows maybe the next time you listen to
2:48
your favorite song you'll be reminded of
2:50
the symphony playing out on a cosmic
