Question

What does it mean that the Higgs has a nonzero vacuum expectation value?

Answer 1

Hey mate

Here is your answer..

If the electron field has a nonzero value, that essentially means that there are some electrons around. ... (More accurately: a “Higgsboson” is an excited state of theHiggs field, which means it's something above and beyond the natural nonzero value.

hope it's help u

Answer 2

=) A non-zero value for the Higgsfield does not change the fact that the vacuum has no preferred direction.
