i know that they are trying to recreate the higgs boson at CERN LHC, but talking about when the big bang happened, how was the higgs field suppose to happen?
according to Roger Penrose in THE ROAD TO REALITY, 28.1.involving different possible 'vacua' is..an essential ingredient of inflation
Tachyonic fields play a very important role in modern physics.
Perhaps the most famous example of a tachyon is the Higgs boson of the Standard model of particle physics. In its uncondensed phase, the Higgs field has a negative mass squared, and is therefore a tachyon.
The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking, which is closely related to tachyon condensation, plays a central part in many aspects of theoretical physics, including the Ginzburg–Landau and BCS theories of superconductivity.
Other examples include the inflaton field in certain models of cosmic inflation (such as new inflation[8][9]), and the tachyon of bosonic string theory
