Sonnet on a Higgs-Like Particle (old version)




In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows:

1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kXdSmAJeu4

2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar.

3. Click 'Copy link address'.

4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.

Ok the unsonnetness and shakiness bothered me enough that I made a corrected version: http://youtu.be/-qzqIHj4uGI

Look, this is what happens when you wake up way too early on Higgs Boson Day, and accidentally make a video while still snuggled in bed. You forget what sonnet form is, you forget about gravity, and suddenly there's this video on the internet and it's your fault.

According to an online article,
We now have found a Higgs-like particle.
It is a Boson, we're 5-sigma sure.
5-sigma's an extraordinary score.

133 times heavier than a proton,
Is the mass of our beloved boson:`
125.3 gigaelectronvolts.
We're seeing the universe's nuts and bolts.

The standard model's other bosons be:
Photons, gluons, W, and Z.
These five together cause all of the force
That's found inside the universe, of course.

So what gives mass to heavy things like pigs?
It is our new discovery: the Higgs.

-like particle.
