> So Higgs particles don't exist under normal conditions Eh. That's like saying fully constructed lego kits don't exist under normal conditions. Yea sure, my normal life conditions don't entail me having just finished putting together a lego rollercoaster. But calling that "normal conditions" is a weird way of describing the situation. I'm being kinda nitpicky, but as a physicist who understands the phenomena I'd just definitely never say "under normal conditions" here. The LHC just provides more potential interactions in a highly regular way and thus more opportunities to measure it. The Higgs boson is just heavy and unstable and less probabilistic to be created via most particle interactions. > So Higgs particles don't exist under normal conditions, they're just proof that the Higgs field exists and explains how mass exists This Higgs particle doesn't explain how mass exists. The construction that explains how mass works predicts that a Higgs boson exists.
