Rejoice-The Higgs Potential as a function of temperature (T) •In QFT, temperature changes the vacuum •Nature chooses the vacuum that is (1) a global min. & (2) stable •At high T (e.g. Big Bang), the Higgs will want to be at h=0 at which point all particles become massless!pic.twitter.com/UGMRAfJGcL

thanks! and regarding stability, do you have any thoughts on the apparent higgs metastability? some possible selection mechanism? plain bad luck?

I don’t have any deep thoughts about it, no.. I haven’t thought about it very carefully
