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

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.  lol
