The Higgs is the missing piece in the Standard Model, a 40-year-old mathematical framework that links all the known particles and all of the fundamental forces of nature except for gravity.
The nearest thing they have to this-the Standard Model of particle physics-is messy in places and partial, because it omits gravity.
目前最接近这出戏的粒子物理的“标准模型”-由于没有引力参加而显得颇为邋遢。

The stubbornness of the standard model has been too much for some physicists, however, leading to new theories that include gravity and work at extremely high energies.
