In nuclear chemistry elements beyond Plutonium do not occur in nature and are synthesized artificially. Is it a similar case for Higgs boson too?

If so, how does it give mass to particles if it doesn't exist? Did scientists create Higgs at LHC in 2011 just to make sure our universe exists through some kind of circular causation?

I'm obviously not understanding this properly. Please dispel my misunderstandings with reasonable explanations!

I'm bad at regurgitating information that I've only quasi understood from afar, but I will tell you the "Chris the Brain" on YouTube has some fantastic videos about things like this. I know he's covered it in a few videos. They are long, but he's SUCH a good teacher. That man is an absolute fucking genius, mark my words.

Holy crap, how did I not know about Chris? I binge watch all the big physicist YouTubers.

Thank you for mentioning him. My grey matter just got turned to mush by his 5-dimensional universe theory. I can't wait to see how this affects MOND.

You're in for SUCH a wild ride!! I'm so excited for you. He's opened my mind SO MUCH, and the theory he's working on is going to be revolutionary I suspect.
