The Higgs Theory and the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva

The Higgs theory predicts that if you collide particles at very high energy you can dump some energy into the Higgs field, make it wiggle and create this Higgs boson. And so that's what we saw in the particle collider. We created the conditions necessary to make the Higgs Field wiggle in just the right way so it can show us that it actually exists. It was definitely a dedicated effort. We had very clear and crisp theoretical ideas about what it might be.
