nd energy.Earlier, before I moved to Harvard and was still at MIT, a friend of mine at the time, Lawrence Hall, was a graduate student at Harvard. Lawrence was ahead of me in his work, graduating before me. He told me that he was only able to complete the work that became his thesis with Weinberg becau

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
