A Quote by Ashoke Sen

Throughout my work, I have assumed that the standard model is correct, and hence, the Higgs boson should be found. Although this is not directly connected to string theory, the discovery of the Higgs boson demonstrated the power of theoretical reasoning.

Physicists have yet to understand why the Higgs boson's mass is what it is.

Lisa Randall

If you can announce the Higgs Boson in Comic Sans, clearly anybody can do anything.

Michael Bierut

When you're in a room with twenty people who've all got the True Theory of the universe, it's difficult to know what to do. And the paradox is that so much important science is now being done by huge teams. With Higgs boson, for example, it's estimated there were around ten thousand scientists and engineers involved in building the machines that made this discovery possible.

Margaret Wertheim

With the discovery of the Higgs boson, one of the questions has been ticked off the list, but there are many others. We hope that we can find answers or hints for answers to at least some of them. But of course, this is in the hands of nature.

Fabiola Gianotti

Great marriages are like the Higgs Boson particle, its existence has been theorized, but no one has ever seen one.

Dov Davidoff

I would hope that the publicity around the Higgs boson would increase the public awareness of physics and cosmology.

Michio Kaku

We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature. The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to more detailed studies, requiring larger statistics, which will pin down the new particle's properties, and is likely to shed light on other mysteries of our universe.

Rolf-Dieter Heuer

I like to call it the scalar boson because this reflects an essential component of the theory - it means that the field the boson travels through has no preferred direction, unlike the way a magnetic field does.

Francois Englert

The scientists at CERN were actually surprised that people commented on this. Reportedly Fabiola Gianotti, the coordinator of the CERN program to find the Higgs Boson, was asked why she had selected Comic Sans. She simply said, "Because I like it."

Michael Bierut

The top quark was discovered in 1995 and since then the Higgs has become an because the standard model was incomplete with out it.

Fabiola Gianotti

The top quark was discovered in 1995, and since then, the Higgs has become our obsession because the standard model was incomplete without it.

Fabiola Gianotti

To me, the most exciting thing about the discovery of the Higgs particle is that its existence was predicted fifty years before its discovery through experiment.

Ashoke Sen

I had a bet with Gordon Kane of Michigan University that the Higgs particle wouldn't be found.

Stephen Hawking

The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality. The strings of string theory are vibrating the particles, vibrating the forces of nature into existence, those vibrations are sort of like musical notes. So string theory, if it's correct, would be playing out the score of the universe.

Brian Greene

One of the strangest features of string theory is that it requires more than the three spatial dimensions that we see directly in the world around us. That sounds like science fiction, but it is an indisputable outcome of the mathematics of string theory.

Brian Greene

It shouldn't be a Higgs field. If it's anybody's, it should be Goldstone field, I think. When Nambu wrote his short paper in 1960, Jeffrey Goldstone of Cambridge University, who was visiting Cern, heard about it. He then wrote a paper which was conceptually similar to what Nambu had done, but a simpler model.

Peter Higgs
