Today is the 14th anniversary of when the discovery of the Higgs boson was announced by CERN on July 4th, 2012.
Do you remember that day?
Peter Higgs surely remembered it!

That was the day that the Standard Model of particle physics was completed . . . well, sort of, maybe. What I mean is, it was the completion of everything that *had* to be found - at a minimum - that we knew to look for, but that doesn't account for any unknown unknowns. 2/
