Michael Krämer (RWTH Aachen) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (23 October, 2013) titled "The (philosophy of the) Higgs". Abstract: I will review the physics of the Large hadron Collider LHC, including the recent the discovery of a Higgs particle, and the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. While the talk focusses on the physics, I will also mention various philosophical questions which are being addressed in the context of an interdisciplinary research group on the "Epistemology of the LHC".
