The Standard Model gets a psychological makeover! Someone brilliantly relabeled force carriers as "mental illnesses" instead of the boring old "interactions." Thirty years of teaching particle physics and I've never seen a more accurate description of the Higgs boson's effect on my mental health. Trying to explain quantum chromodynamics to freshmen while gluons are listed as "gauge mental illnesses" would actually explain why so many physicists develop a thousand-yard stare by tenure. Next up: renaming quantum entanglement as "particle codependency issues."
