The science of physics has entered a new era once with the
discovery of the much sought after Higgs boson in July 2012. The
elementary particle thought to be responsible for granting
matter its mass has been theorized for decades, but only with
the deployment of the multi-billion Large Hadron Collider in
Geneva could such a quest commence. Years of hard work,
painstaking analysis and a fine eye for detail have paid off
eventually. Mixed emotions tried the team of researchers that
headed the Higgs boson experiments after the monumental findings
– what if they were wrong? Recently, an international panel of
scientists have confirmed and cemented the discovery of the
boson that has eluded physicists for all these years, after they
reviewed massive amounts of data in the wake of the find. The
Higgs boson was first theorized in 1964 what of the need to fill
in gaps in our understanding of the Universe. The particle was
named for Peter Higgs, one of the physicists who proposed its
existence, but it later became pop
