Abstract

The announcement in July 2012 of the first experimental evidence about the Higgs boson existence, intensified interest in the secular debate on the meaning of concepts such as vacuum and physical fields. The evolution of their interpretations reveals profound changes in the philosophical background of our view of nature. Especially since the controversial role of symmetry breaking has been added to the discussions on unification theories and the fundamental structure of matter.
