What Now For The Higgs Boson?

For a report on ABC's Catalyst program (www.abc.net.au/catalyst/), I visited the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland to find out what is being done now that the Higgs Boson has been discovered.
Although its mass has been measured around 125-126 GeV most of the other properties of the particle remain unknown. Its spin appears to be 0 or 2 but more results are required to nail this down. If it is the standard model Higgs, the spin should be 0, resulting in a fairly symmetric distribution of decay products in the detectors.
We may know this year if it's not the standard model Higgs - this would be the case if it doesn't decay into specific particles with the expected frequency. However if it is the standard model Higgs, it may take many more years to be certain. The large hadron collider will be shut down in 2013 for upgrades so that higher energies up to 14 TeV can be tested. Right now the LHC is operating at 8 TeV. The next announcement is expected in December.

    I wonder: does the standard model address whether the Higgs field is homogeneous? If the field is of uniform density throughout, a 1kg mass would have 1kg of inertial resistance anywhere in the universe. On the other hand, if the field were "clumpy" like a fog or perhaps even clustered like galaxies, that 1kg mass could experience greater inertia where the Higgs field is more dense and less inertia where it's less dense.

    There are lots of fields, no need to single out the Higgs field - what about the electromagnetic field, the electron field, or the quark field? Reality seems to be based on the existence of quite a few fields. So if you want, you could ask why does anything exist at all? Lawrence Krauss took a stab at this in his latest book.

    Scott's question was incredibly benign and inspired by scientific curiosity. How in the world did you find a way to take offense to it? Furthermore, how does an educated individual such as yourself respond in such a way to a simple question? Questions are a fundamental part of science, and we would not have had any of the advances in technology and science that you listed if someone had not posed the question. Responding in the manner that you have is incredibly counterproductive. But perhaps that's the point, in which case your opinion is inconsequential. If that is not the point, and you truly care about science and advancing technology, then you should definitely change your attitude.

Asking that question is analogous to asking why some particles interact with electromagnetism and some don't, or why are the fundamental forces as strong as they are and not stronger/weaker. It's just how the universe works, the intrinsic properties of the particles themselves. It's very likely that there is no true answer. If string theory, or something similar, turns out to be true then that would answer your question, but you could then you could just ask why do strings have these properties? If you ask "why" forever, eventually you'll have to end at "because that's just how the universe works".

    Actually mass is the other way around. The property of mass is basically the property an object has so that it cannot travel at the speed of light. And remember, Mass getting heavier at closer the speed of light still interacts with the Higgs field, so long that it doesn't travel at the speed of light. So, as long as an object is moving slower than light, no matter how close, the Higgs field is going to give it mass.

At least now that it's been a while, the "Haha science! Now you've proven God exists!" blogs and articles seem to have gone away. The funny thing is, if science was able to somehow definitively prove that a god exists, it would be celebrated by them. I'm sure a lot of people would be personally shaken by it, but over time and with repeated empirical confirmation, it would be accepted. It seems like a lot of religious people think science is all about disproving the existence of their god, when in fact it's a search for understanding of everything. If any gods do exist, then they would be part of that everything which science strives to understand.

I don't believe that there was something that created the universe, because the universe can't be created. It created itself and expands its volume infinitely. I think that the universe created God, if there is one. I see it as God is actually an existing force, not a being. A force called, well gravity. Something that moulds stars and planets, moves mountains and oceans. Gravity is something that no one to this day understands still. I see the stories of God and Religion fitting that model perfectly, however the stories of the Bible and such? Historically proven to be... Well wrong. Sorry.

    Shubham: Because they didn't have colliders that could push the photons at high enough speeds. If you smash 2 particles at a slow speed the outcome is much different than at high speeds, just like in any collision. To get the higgs to appear you have to break a photon at higher speed to get it to break into more and more tiny pieces then analyze all those pieces and measure their energy states. A lot of this is up to chance so you don't always get a Higgs, so they do this over and over again to get statistically significant results. (for some reason I couldn't reply directly to your comment.)
