Why are stars, galaxies, and even people possible instead of a cosmos of pure light? The discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN in 2012 gave science a long-awaited answer-but not the final one.\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores the Higgs boson not only as a particle of physics but as a symbol of humanity's restless search for meaning. From the pioneering ideas of six physicists in 1964 to the monumental experiments of the Large Hadron Collider, he guides the reader through the science with clarity and wit, showing how invisible fields shape the visible world.\u003cbr\u003eBut this journey does not end with physics. The Higgs raises questions that belong as much to philosophy and culture as to mathematics: What does it mean to discover something we cannot see? Where does science stop and metaphysics begin? Why invest billions in pure research when the world is full of urgent needs?\u003cbr\u003eAt once scientific and philosophical, critical and poetic, \u003ci\u003eWhy Anything Has Mass\u003c\/i\u003e invites us to see the Higgs boson as both discovery and doorway-a key to matter, and a reminder of the deeper mystery of existence itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Boris Kriger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798267279352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Boris Kriger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49083683963135,"sku":"9798267279352","price":16.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-anything-has-mass-boris-kriger-9798267279352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
