GOD PARTICLE ?


1. WHAT'S THE HIGGS BOSON PARTICLE? other wise wittily, called as  What is god particle? 

The universe is made of 12 fundamental particles and 4 fundamental forces. This is called the Standard Model of Physics. scientists predicted One more particle which contributes the " mass" and was called the Higgs boson (bosons are force-carrying particles named after Satyen Bose). 

2. why this HIGGS BOSON particle  GET TO BE CALLED  as THE 'GOD PARTICLE'? 

Nobel winning physicist Leon Lederman unwittingly coined it. 

3. HOW DID THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER (LHC) FIND IT? 

Higgs boson is supposed to have originated a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang which created the universe. Scientists tried to recreate the same conditions presumed to have existed then by making very high-speed protons collide with each other inside the LHC. Tracking millions of collisions occurring in seconds, they identified traces of a never-before-seen particle

4. SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR SCIENCE? 

The discovery confirms the Standard Model theory is valid.

With the Higgs boson found, now it may be easy for scientists to explain other concepts -dark energy,dark matter,antimatter and  gravitation.
