i know that they are trying to recreate the higgs boson at CERN LHC, but talking about when the big bang happened, how was the higgs field suppose to happen?
according to Roger Penrose in THE ROAD TO REALITY, 28.1.involving different possible 'vacua' is..an essential ingredient of inflation
Tachyonic fields play a very important role in modern physics.
Perhaps the most famous example of a tachyon is the Higgs boson of the Standard model of particle physics. In its uncondensed phase, the Higgs field has a negative mass squared, and is therefore a tachyon.
The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking, which is closely related to tachyon condensation, plays a central part in many aspects of theoretical physics, including the Ginzburg–Landau and BCS theories of superconductivity.
Other examples include the inflaton field in certain models of cosmic inflation (such as new inflation[8][9]), and the tachyon of bosonic string theory
The Higgs field is a theoretical concept in particle physics that was first proposed by British physicist Peter Higgs in the 1960s. It is a quantum field that permeates all of space and gives particles their mass.
The Higgs field is believed to have originated during the Big Bang, a cosmological event that occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago. As the universe expanded and cooled, the Higgs field underwent a phase transition, similar to water freezing into ice. This phase transition gave particles their mass and allowed them to interact with the Higgs field.
The Higgs field is important because it is responsible for the existence of mass in the universe. Without the Higgs field, particles would not have mass and the universe as we know it would not exist. Additionally, the Higgs field is a crucial component of the Standard Model of particle physics, which explains the fundamental particles and forces in our universe.
The Higgs field was discovered in 2012 by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Scientists at the LHC observed the long-sought-after Higgs boson, a particle that is associated with the Higgs field, through proton-proton collisions.
The Higgs field is a fundamental aspect of our universe and cannot be manipulated in the traditional sense. However, scientists are currently studying ways to manipulate the Higgs field through experiments and theoretical models, which could potentially lead to new discoveries and advancements in our understanding of the universe.
