Happy #Higgsdependence Day! Today is the anniversary of the discovery the Higgs Particle. The discovery was announced July 4, 2012.
The existence of the Higgs is the sign that fundamental symmetry is broken in nature. Perfect symmetry is not good for a universe like ours. With it, intrinsic mass as we know it cannot exist. Today we celebrate freedom from mathematical symmetry ... a universe made wonderful by its disrespect for sameness.
