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

It's the opposite of a problem! that's why gauge theories are said to be maximally predictive, the more constrained we are the better The higgs transforms under the chiral symmetry group (like left handed fermions).. this way we can write down gauge invariant interactions.. 1/2
