Higgs Boson

Higgs Boson

Hold your breath: In the cathedral of collisions
The priests of particles have prayed the physics,
The scalar particle has been revealed to them;
A probability sift through collision events says
it exists in the rich jiggle of the cosmic vacuum;
The universal field of charge moves in mysterious ways;
Blessing electrons with mass, promoting atomic communion
But the boson is unstable; it lasts a fraction of a second
Before it becomes quarks and leptons;
The mind of creation is observed in modes of decay;

But it is no less numinous.
