Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always Leonard Susskind explains the Higgs phenomena by discussing how spontaneous symmetry breaking induces a mass for the photon.
Just one thing bothers me. If symmetries indicate conserved things in physical reality then what conserved quantity does alpha represent in the real world? I know it does not have energy because it is the Goldstone Boson. So its something outside space-time, or at least doesn't seem to manifest itself as a variable quantity in space-time now. Having said that I recall lots of talk in Big Bang theory about symmetry breaking, so maybe I should be looking there.
Amused by students forgetting what complex numbers are used for. Handling two potentially independent things simultaneously by a mathematical convention was my understanding. Cant follow the details of Lagrangian math yet myself but fascinating explanation of the Higgs potential energy. Fascinating course, thanks for posting. Will be going through the whole lot again when I get to the end.

The structure of the universe seems more like a Bucky ball to me than a super string.
