Predicting the Higgs Boson

The video explores how theoretical anomalies in subatomic particle interactions led to the prediction of the Higgs boson. It discusses the concept of particle spin and the constraints of consistent theories, highlighting the unique spins allowed in nature. Quantum mechanical difficulties with W and Z particles are examined, leading to the necessity of a new spin-zero particle, the Higgs boson, to resolve these issues. The video concludes with the theoretical implications and inevitability of the Higgs boson in particle physics.

Explain the theoretical problem associated with the W and Z particles.
