3. A fundamental Higgs Mechanism was supposed to explain the origin of electroweak mass We now know that a fundamental Higgs Boson exists and explains the masses of quarks, leptons, W and Z

4. A fundamental Higgs Mechanism was supposed to explain the origin of electroweak mass But, the Higgs Boson does NOT explain the origin of the electroweak mass-scale We now know that a fundamental Higgs Boson exists and explains the masses of quarks, leptons, W and Z

5. A fundamental Higgs Mechanism was supposed to explain the origin of electroweak mass The Higgs Boson does NOT explain the origin of the electroweak mass-scale i.e., what is the origin of the Higgs Boson mass itself? We now know that a fundamental Higgs Boson exists and explains the masses of quarks, leptons, W and Z

6. A fundamental Higgs Mechanism was supposed to explain the origin of electroweak mass The Higgs Boson does NOT explain the origin of the electroweak mass-scale i.e., what is the origin of the Higgs Boson mass itself? This is either very sobering, or it presents theoretical opportunities We now know that a fundamental Higgs Boson exists and explains the masses of quarks, leptons, W and Z
