El Bosón de Higgs, Parte I

The video explores the inclusion of the Higgs boson in the Standard Model of particle physics, despite its late discovery. It explains the role of the Higgs field in providing mass to particles and its entanglement with the weak nuclear force. The video also discusses the discovery of the Higgs boson and the limitations of the Standard Model, such as its exclusion of gravity.

Why was the Higgs boson included in the Standard Model before it was discovered?

• It was the only particle that could be independently verified.

• It was an excitation of the Higgs field, crucial for the weak nuclear force.

• It was a well-known particle like electrons.

• It was discovered in the 70s.

What is the primary technical reason for including the Higgs field in the Standard Model?

• To simplify the mathematical equations.

• To give mass to particles without listing mass as a property.

• To explain the electric charge of particles.

• To provide a list of all particles in nature.

How does the Higgs field contribute to the Standard Model?

• By providing a direct measurement of particle mass.

• By being the only part of the model that can be independently verified.

• By explaining the gravitational force.

• By allowing particles to gain mass through its excitation.

What unexpected result did the inclusion of the Higgs field in the Standard Model produce?

• A new type of weak nuclear force.

• A solitary Higgs boson particle.

• A complete understanding of gravity.

• A new form of electric charge.

What is a significant limitation of the Standard Model as discussed in the video?

• It cannot explain the existence of electrons.

• It does not account for the electromagnetic force.

• It fails to include gravity.

• It predicts the wrong mass for the Higgs boson.
