In 2012, the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider confirmed the existence of a field responsible for generating masses of elementary particles. Physicists struggle to explain how the Higgs field works, often resorting to tall tales involving substances like soup or molasses, which conflict with fundamental laws of motion. In reality, the Higgs field operates through vibration, influencing the resonant frequencies of other fields, thereby giving particles mass. This concept, supported by the Standard Model of particle physics and experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, presents a new perspective on the universe as a quantum musical instrument orchestrated by the Higgs field.
