Scientists find evidence for Higgs boson

The video explains the role of the Higgs field in giving mass to elementary particles. It contrasts the interaction of electrons and top quarks with the Higgs field. Higgs bosons, theorized in the Standard Model, are crucial to this process but have not been observed. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) aims to confirm their existence by colliding protons at high speeds to create Higgs bosons, which exist briefly. Physicists look for residual particles from these collisions to confirm the Higgs boson's existence.
