   Unzicker has studied Physics and has obtained a university diploma in   
   Physics in 1985.  Other than that, however, he is merely an author of   
   popular-scientific books who, because of their content, is not taken   
   seriously in the scientific community.   
      
   Incidentally, this particular book was self-published by Unzicker which for   
   a book about science is always a bad sign as it was not peer-reviewed by   
   a(nother) scientist before publication:

   None of this has anything to do with the Brout--Englert--Higgs mechanism.   
      
   Unzicker's whole argument is a fallacy, and so is yours.
