These posts always take me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole. Currently on the "Higgs mechanism", throwing words at my brain in hopes something sticks.

If you're interested in the Higgs mechanism as a layman, I highly highly recommend this talk by Leonard Susskind:

It's about 1 hour long (plus some questions) and it goes through some basic ideas of what it means for something to have mass and all the way to the Higgs mechanism.
