Higgs mechanism is tenable since gauge transformations possess no real instantiations. By 1964, Peter Higgs and also Brout, Englert, and Kibble extended the work of Goldstone on spontaneous symmetry breaking to gauge theories. Thus, the GSW theory implements the existence of massive exchange particles, the weak Wand Z-gauge bosons, Parts of the 1979 Nobel lectures show the importance of the idea of the Higgs mechanism within the GSW theory and its conceptual understanding not only by the common philosophy of physics reader will certainly have noticed already—the status of the symmetries in question, gauge symmetries, is in fact a non-empirical or merely conventional the gauge theory presented in the Higgs mechanism? The more complex model of the GSW electroweak theory considers a Higgs mechanism	./cache/work_cajnltmeljge5db25vy6jo6j4e.pdf	./txt/work_cajnltmeljge5db25vy6jo6j4e.txt
