"Seeing the Higgs and nothing else so far is by far the most shocking thing that could have happened."
"The reason why the Higgs boson is a concept is hard to grasp is because you need to stop thinking of the world in terms of particles; you need to start thinking of it in terms of fields."

"It describes how everything in the universe is made of 12 different types of matter particles, interacting with 3 forces, all bound together by a rather special particle called the Higgs boson."
"The upcoming physics season will focus on the study of the properties of the Higgs and the search for physics beyond the standard model."
"Muons couple more strongly to the Higgs boson for example and more than that they just have a little bit more oomph to make virtual particles and to be affected by them."
