Title: The Search for Truth: What We Know About the Top Quark

Abstract:

I will review our current understanding of the top quark, the heaviest
known form of matter, focusing on what we have learned from studying
the very highest energy matter-antimatter collisions observed in the
laboratory. I will summarize some of the most recent results of the
Collider Detector at Fermilab that cast interesting perspectives on
our knowledge of the Higgs boson, the particle that is responsible for
generating mass in the Standard Model.
