The Higgs boson is 130 times more massive than a proton. The Higgs field covers the universe. The Higgs has zero spin, no color change, and no electric charge. The Higgs field is a scalar one. It is precarious, and it decays into another particle almost immediately. Forces in the Standard Model are transmitted by particles known as gauge bosons. Symmetries are the specific changes to gauge transformations of the components that do not change the energy. Symmetric systems become asymmetric under certain conditions. Symmetry breaking via spontaneous symmetric breaking occurs at times. When broken, it is no longer a symmetry.
