The Higgs Boson, With Cute Cartoons
Jul 7th, 2012 by Alicia
Victoria has been asking us about the Higgs Boson and she unfortunately knew more about it than I did. I stumbled on this cute little video where a physicist explains it. It still is only slightly clearer than sewage sludge to me, but I thought it was well done nonetheless!
What do you think of the Higgs Boson? Have you talked about it with your kids? Any good resources to share, to help make it more accessible?
Have you seen the Vi Hart sonnet on the Higgs like particle? Very cute:

Or the joke, a Higgs-Boson walks into a church and the priest says, ‘We don’t serve your kind here’ The Higgs-Boson says, ‘Then how can you have mass?’
Hahahahaha!
