The Higgs Boson Might Exist

New results from the world’s largest particle smasher might hint at the existence of the Higgs boson, which is thought to be responsible for endowing every other fundamental particle of matter with mass, or weight. This is according to the conventional thinking in physics, embodied in a set of ideas called the Standard Model. The Higgs boson is in fact the last particle that is predicted by the Standard Model but not yet detected.
