This still doesn't explain why they can fit that much popcorn in such a tiny bag!

actually, just "a" higgs boson has been observed. the SM(Standard Model) Higgs Boson which is referred to commonly by the layman as "the" higgs boson, or by the press the "God Particle" has not been confirmed to be the observed particle. the findings of the predicted mass is inconsistent with the experimental data.

Better finish all the physics courses before they add more formulas.
