Don't Panic!

This is the phrase used in the Higgs FAQ page by Mathew Strassler that we have linked in the previous post.
Some of you might have seen it at another places also. For example the famous book The C++ Programming Language by the creator of  C++ language Bjarne Stoustrup uses it early in his book.

So that is it. That is life. At the present moment the things in the business of acquiring knowledge have become so difficult that even real experts, including creators of new fields, feel that the audience might panic.

I hope this much of excerpts should suffice us to use the same phrase. This blog is meant to explain these things, and that is the object of it all, but sometimes it is bound to look very tedious or difficult. But do not panic. Things should start making sense at some point of time.
