Higgs particles might have played an even more substantial role at earlier moments in cosmic history. My own research, along with that of physicists around the world, has focused on what effects Higgs particles might have had just fractions of a second after the big bang – effects that could explain the shape and fate of the universe.
希格斯粒子在宇宙历史的早期也许曾经发挥过更大的作用。世界各地物理学家和我自己都在研究大爆炸后一微秒希格斯粒子可能产生的作用——这或许可以解释宇宙的形状和命运。
