The physics world has been set alight with a wildfire rumour that CERN will announce they have discovered the Higgs boson particle - that elusive 'God' particle which is believed to give all other particles their mass. full story ![]()
Last July, scientists at CERN announced that, using the Large Hadron Collider, it had discovered a particle that was consistent with the properties they'd expect to find in Higgs boson. A Higgs boson is the particle that the current model of physics describes as giving mass to all particles in the universe.

Scientists at CERN have confirmed the existence of the Higgs Boson, the elusive particle believed to be responsible for giving mass and shape to all objects in the universe. The announcement comes after studying the data from last year's potentially earth-destroying tests using the Large Hadron Collider. Plus it's Pi Day, whee! "To me it is clear that we are dealing with a...

Its significance, though, awaits further investigation. The Higgs Boson really, really is the Higgs Boson. At first, testing at the Large Hadron Collider revealed a particle that was likely the Higgs Boson, the theorized particle that gives the universe its mass. Then, more tests confirmed we were even more sure about it--there was a one-in-550 million chance it wasn't the...
