Interesting snippet that helped me understand a little better why the LHC has been built.

Whoa! *reads thread title again, more slowly this time* Heheh, whew. :sigh:
Wow.
It's great to hear a pretty accessible explanation of the primary goal of the LHC from Higgs himself.
One thing about this area of physics, though. Every time I get more information about it, I come to realize something with greater and greater clarity: I don't get it.
