How Small Is It - 05 - The Higgs Boson (1080p)

Text at @ 22:03 equation should be m = fh/c^2. Music free version In our final segment, we cover the Higgs Boson starting with force fields and their particles. First we cover Quantum Electrodynamics - QED. We note that a disturbance in the field can create a particle – the photon. We show how the virtual photon mediates the electromagnetic force with virtual photons that are actually not particles. We also introduce coupling constants and Feynman Diagrams. We then extend this ‘force particle from a force field’ concept to include a matter particle from a matter field. In electromagnetic quantum field theory, this is the electron. Next we cover Quantum Chromodynamics – QCD. We show how the electromagnetic force is used as the model for the strong nuclear force that holds quarks together in protons and neutrons and holds protons and neutrons together in the
