Have you ever wondered why physicists are so excited to study the Higgs Boson at a new Higgs Factory collider?
Wonder no more!
I explain what a Higgs factory is, why we need one, and the amazing measurements the machine will make.
Check it out!

Why do theoretical physicists turn to String Theory over other quantum gravity hypotheses?
Part of the answer is that String Theory has jumped through many mathematical hoops that other hypotheses have not.
