Scientists may have found the God particle


According to the ABC News, scientists may have found the “God” particle. The Large Hadron Collider specialists are studying the recent findings related to Higgs boson, a particle that may be part of a field that gives mass matter. At the moments, its attributes are only suppositions. Future experiments will reveal if the particle is really able to materialize energy.

Here we were thinking that God may not be far from Santa Claus myth. As is may turn out, we may be able to see God before we get to see Santa in flesh and bones. At least, to some extent, this is what the science promises for the near future. The scientists operating the Large Hadron Collider are studying the particle called Higgs boson, which is part of the same field which that gives mass matter. They had organized a meeting in mid-January to discuss on the subject. 

Several laboratory tests have been started in order to see if the discovery is valid. If so, this would be a major breakthrough. According to the team of scientists involved in the project, the results of the experiments will be based on definitely more data that they discussed at the Summer conference, “sufficient to make significant progress in the search for the Higgs boson, but not enough to make any conclusive statement on the existence or non-existence of the Higgs”.

Higgs boson is an elementary particle that was theorized by several scientists, such as F. Englert, P. Higgs and C. R. Hagen, but was never discovered. It is often referred to in the media as “the God particle” after Len Lederman’s book called “The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?”
