TED-Ed: The basics of the Higgs boson - Dave Barney and Steve Goldfarb

In a humorous dialogue between a physicist and a blues singer at an ice cream bar, the concept of the Higgs boson and Higgs field is explored. The physicist explains how the Higgs field gives mass to elementary particles and the significance of the Higgs boson discovery. Using analogies, the physicist illustrates complex ideas in particle physics, emphasizing the ongoing exploration in the field.
