Physicists announced today (March 14) that a particle discovered at the world's largest atom smasher last year is a Higgs boson, a long-sought particle thought to explain how other particles get their mass. Discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHCThe elusive particle, called a Higgs boson, was predicted in 1964 to help fill in our understanding of the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang. The particle was named for Peter Higgs, oneAt this time, further analysis of evidence from an elementary particle found last July in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) “strongly indicates” that scientists finally have discovered the elusive Higgs boson. Proof of its existenceWith all the information surrounding the official discovery of the Higgs boson, it can be difficult to appreciate how this innovation can impact the average person. However, to understand why the so-called "God particle" is so crucial, and why so manyHayley Dixon The Telegraph March 14, 2013.
