Why Do We Need More Higgs Bozons?
Higgs bozons are trying to solve problems in particle physics. One of the deepest ones is why everything we see out there made of matter and not anti matter? We're looking through the laws of physics for some preference, but we really haven't found any. But if you add a bunch more higgs bozons to your theory, then you create all these ways for matter to be preferred over anti matter. You create all these processes that prefer to create matter rather than anti matter. And so just sort of gives us a bunch more like knobs to tweak on our theory to allow us to potentially explain this matter anti matter symmetry.
