t at the summer school in 1960, he began to study the literature on symmetry and symmetry breaking, examin- ing the work of Nambu, Goldstone, Salam, Weinberg, and Anderson. Higgs became depressed by the seemingly hopeless task of reconciling Goldstone's theorem with the possibility of massive Yang-Mills

Higgs is like a toilet. It hides all the messy details we would rather not speak of. The Higgs field, as elegant as it might be, is within the Stan- dard Model essentially an ad hoc addition. It is added to the theory to do what is required to accurately model the world of our experience. But it is not req
