The Higgs Boson and the Possible Instability in Its Potential

Explore the implications of the Higgs boson discovery and its potential instability in this 1-hour 4-minute conference talk by Alessandro Strumia at BIMSA. Delve into the findings from the Large Hadron Collider, including the measurement of the Higgs boson's mass and the absence of new physics that could have made it naturally light. Examine the Standard Model Higgs quartic coupling extrapolated to the Planck energy and its near-vanishing value. Investigate the data suggesting a small negative value, which could indicate instability in the Higgs potential at ultra-high energy. Consider possible manifestations of this instability and its significance for our understanding of particle physics and the universe.
