I mean, unbelievable. There it was. Build this massive collider in CERN in Switzerland. And there it is. Unbelievable. Kind of where you expect it to be. Now, the reason I say it could be dark energy is because the Higgs particle, like a particle of light, also has a field, like an electromagnetic field.

So light can have this field that's distributed through all space, electromagnetic field, and you shake it around and it creates little particles. So the Higgs field... is actually more important than the Higgs particle, the complement to the Higgs particle, because that's what you and I connect with to get mass in our atoms.

So the idea is that our atoms are interacting with this gooey field that's everywhere. Mm-hmm. And that's what's giving us this experience of inertial mass. But we don't actually... There's not a lot of quanta lying around. There's not a lot of Higgs particles lying around because they decay. So it's the field that's really important. And that field could act like a dark energy. It's just not...

In the right place, meaning it's not at the right, the energy is too high to explain this tiny, tiny value today. And again, we're back to this mismatch. It's not that we can't conceive of forms of dark energy. It's that we can't make one where we're finding it.
