I will discuss how the Higgs field of the Standard Model can make the Universe flat, homogeneous and isotropic; produce the quantum fluctuations seeding the structure formation; and lead to the Hot Big Bang. Together with neutral leptons the Higgs boson plays the crucial role in neutrino mass generation, baryogenesis and dark matter production.
