VERSION|0.5.1|SUBJECT|How the Higgs Boson Gives Particles Mass |CONTENT|Peter Higgs&#039; famous boson has been in the news again lately. I&#039;ve seen all sorts of &quot;explanations&quot; and analogies given in the press and even in popular science mags about how particles acquire mass. Many of these are just plain wrong and most don&#039;t even come close to what the theory actually says. So I thought I&#039;d have a go at a much simplified explanation of the Higgs&#039; mechanism. It misses out a lot of the detail, but I hope it conveys the basics.
