Higgs. What’s it all About?

Young-Kee Kim gives us a crash course in particle physics and then presents the story of the discovery of the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). She then explains what it all means: what is the role of the Higgs mechanism in giving other particles mass? Why is there a new particle associated with it? Who figured this out? How do we use colliders to discover new particles? She concludes with a summary of how physics is done at the LHC and speculates on what its next big discoveries might tell us about the mystery of dark matter.
