Hmmm. The main purpose of the LHC is to probe new physics at what is believed to be a VERY interesting new energy scale. It is sufficiently above the Tevatron energy and the electroweak scale that LOTS of new things should be observable, including the Higgs (unless the standard model is wrong, which in itself would be VERY interesting given its success so far).
I was wondering, what is the relationship between
it and gravity, in GR? Mass curves spacetime,
etc.... where does the Higgs field and boson fit in?
Nobody knows how GR and quantum theory fit together, and the standard model is pure quantum field theory.
