    I haven't looked at the comments yet. It may already have been asked, but in his model, they start with a Higgs Boson. If the higgs boson cannot be detected then the matter you are smashing together to replicate the moments after the singularity; wouldn't it just be electrons passing through the higgs field? I keep hearing and reading the Higgs Boson has been detected. But every time I read a journal or view videos discussing it, it turns out they haven't seen it, only mathematically can they determine the decay. This video is very well put together, i just don't understand how you start with a higgs boson either at rest or moving, but if it never materializes so WTF.

      Keep in mind that invariant mass has been a core concept in experimental particle physics throughout its history. It is a "standard tool" used in the analysis of "boosted systems". For instance, see [1] for a nice summary of invariant mass in the context of W and Z vector boson production at the Tevatron's Dzero detector at FNAL.

      Yes, the doppler effect can shift the photon's frequency/wavelength. As you probably know, the photon's energy is directly (inversely) proportional to its frequency (wavelength) [1]. The LHC experiments typically determine the energy of the incident photons from the amount of light produced by its scintillating calorimeters [2, 3].

    Thrive been using it in math as if it existsed for over a decade before confirming it. I'm always glad to learn things but this higgs is over hyped to justify the fact that lhc cost so much and this is the only particle they've been able to produce. There has been tech advancement in sensors but that's happening anyways the LHC simply accommodated a lab to test them.
    Americans wouldn't build it because many said it's not going to be big enough to reap the rewards of say the lc in California that discovered like 12 particles.
    Already got the over crowded particle field scientist wanting the next bigger facilty.
    When you actually look at the % of confidence that they actually think theh are witnessing particles it's really low. They think it's actually like a 65% chance probably but theh are only 20% sure of that probability of the probability .lol
    If course they speak of it as absolute fact. Its No such thing to begin with.

      Discovering new particles is not the metric by which we measure success in experimental high-energy physics (HEP). This topic is nuanced, so I defer to this CERN Courier article [1]. Your statement about "% of confidence" is ambiguous and wildly inaccurate. Have a look at [2] if you'd like to learn more about the rigor required of experimental HEP results in order to be considered a "discovery" and [3] for a glimpse of the review process that is carried out before results are even submitted to a scientific journal for peer review.
