The God particle; and things to know about Higgs Boson

God particle is a sub-atomic particle (also known as ‘Higgs Boson’) which is responsible for proving mass of the matter. It is known that the weight of a body depends on the presence of gravitation while the mass always remains same, be it on Earth or any other planet or moon. In this article, I am going to talk on God particle; what is God particle/Higgs Boson and how it was named so. Also, some important results that have been obtained by the continued research and help of ‘The Large Hadron Collider’ can be read here. What is God Particle? Why the Higgs boson matters? The God Particle (or Higgs boson) is a sub-atomic particle discovered by CERN , is considered to an important particle responsible for the mass of matter and a building block of the Universe. It is believed to be the mass provider or a strong constituent of matter which contributes in the mass and various other properties of matter (solid, liquid, gas). According to Layman’s theory, a variety of sub-atomic pa...

10 things to know about Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CERN

Large Hadron Collider (also referred as LHC) is a particle accelerator which has been in news for testing and discovery of the metaphorically known ‘The God particle’, the Higgs boson. Let’s know a few things out of many about the Large Hadron Collider in this mini article. 10) The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and highest-energy particle accelerator in the world. 9) It was built and advanced during 1998 to 2008, by CERN (the European Organization for Nuclelar Research). 8) The main aim behind the invention and processing of LHC was to understand and test the predictions made by different theories in particle physics. However, the most targeted aim was to know about the existence of a sub-atomic particle, Higgs boson . 7) The existence of LHC is a result of contributed efforts made by more than ten thousands scientists and hundreds of laboratories and universities played role in the contribution of Large Hardon Collider’s development. 6) It i...
