The Higgs Boson: God Particle or Elusive Particle?

What is The Higgs Boson particle : The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle in the Standard Model of particle physics, which is a theoretical framework describing the fundamental particles and their interactions. It was first proposed by physicist Peter Higgs and others in the 1960s as a mechanism to explain how particles acquire mass. The existence of the Higgs boson was confirmed in 2012 through experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The Higgs boson is closely associated with the Higgs field, which is thought to permeate all of space. According to the theory, particles gain mass by interacting with this field. The Higgs boson is the particle associated with the excitation of the Higgs field. As for why it's sometimes referred to as the "God particle," this term is actually a misnomer and not favored by most physicists. The term "God particle" originated from the title of the book "The God P...
