  When he said at the end that this was an oversimplification of everything I burst into tears.

  I think I need to start with a video that has analogies

  My wife enjoys watching ballet. She cannot dance yet appreciates the artistry demonstrated. Likewise my days of advanced maths are long gone. I appreciate the skill of the presenter and the underlying genius of the scientists who designed these dance moves.

  I can not say this enough. This is the best physics channel I have watched yet. I don&apos;t like the pop science approach of just repeating conclusions without showing real physics. You walk the complete path. Sure, one needs to understand a bit of math to follow you, and I don&apos;t even understand everything all of the time, but that is what physics is like. You communicate real physics, and I love that. Plus, your voice is perfect for this. It sounds calm and fascinated. As if in awe. It is very pleasant to listen to

  Essentially irrelevant side note: The term &quot;God particle&quot; was created when Leon Max Ledermann wanted to publish his book &quot;The Goddamn Particle&quot;, but the publisher forced him to call it &quot;The God Particle&quot;. Higgs personally decided against this term, apparently because it could be insulting to the religious folk.

  thank you so much bro. mailman that can&apos;t get a physics degree but am astonished by humanity&apos;s progress and YOU made it understandable to me when &nbsp;i desperately need to know these things to be happier, but college is like the only way. well, you give me a view inside, thank you!!!

  This is one of your best videos so far. Your explanation of the higgs mechanism was very clear with just the right level of mathematical detail for me.
