TL;DR
The paper argues that the Hierarchy Problem is not a formal issue but a reflection of our lack of understanding of the Higgs boson's nature, which is crucial for progress in physics.
Contribution
The author clarifies that the Hierarchy Problem is a conceptual ignorance rather than a formal problem, emphasizing the importance of understanding the Higgs boson.
Findings
The Hierarchy Problem is not a well-defined formal problem.
Understanding the Higgs boson is essential for solving major physics questions.
The paper offers a personal perspective on the problem's nature.
Abstract
Is there a Hierarchy Problem? If so, what, exactly, is the problem? Almost every theorist has a personal answer to these questions. In this article, I give my answers. I will explain that the Hierarchy Problem is not a formal problem but rather our ignorance of a crucial physics explanation -- the explanation of the nature of the Higgs boson. Without the solution to this problem, we cannot make progress on the major questions of our field.
