The Higgs Boson explained by PhD Comics

Don’t know what the Higgs Boson is (or even how to pronounce it)? PhD Comics, my personal favorite, illustrated it in this short video a couple of months ago.

  • “Let’s do the interview in the cafeteria!”
    “Yeah — and shoot it in Portrait format!”
    “YAY!”

    • truly entertaining and “different” way to storytell. for a moment i thought i understood something, very nice illusion of knowledge :)

    • It just happened that I first viewed this on a phone and I’m here to find out whether it’s a “responsive” video format that turns to landscape automatically and obviously the answer is NO.

      My other point is, I love this video!!! Brilliantly done.

  • At least now we having looking at the first stroke of E on the word END!!! Soon the whole E will be visible and eventually the whole word END!!

  • Well done and different ^_^

  • Which program was use to make these drawings?
    Does anybody know the name of the font that is used in the comics or where I can find similar ones?
    Thanks!

  • Ok, this is thought provoking. The idea of a higgs boson is quite interesting. So what if you can get results from 3 quraks instead of just 2? Also, I just watched the vid on dark matter and this proposes another thought. What if dark matter is not “seen” but rather “heard”. ie: frequency? Just a thought. Therefore, a higgs boson could be “everywhere”, but we arn’t looking for it in the proper way? Just a thought. Cheers.

  • You could probably get far better results from these kind of educational videos than you get from school. There should be more of this kind of thing.
