The Higgs boson is a part of a theory first proposed by Higgs and others in the 1960s to explain how particles obtain mass and in turn why we exist.without the boson,the universe would have no physical matter,only energy.
The Higgs boson is perhaps better known by its sexier nickname the ” God particle”. But in fact,many scientists, including the physicist for whom it is named,dislike the term.
Higgs boson is a particle that is obtained after colliding two hydrogen atoms traveling at a speed of light. It is believed that this particle played a key role in formation of our universe at the moment of the big bang. If this particle is obtained here on earth and it’s properties can be measured and recorded,scientists will be able to explain how the universe works!
WHY IT IS CALLED “GOD PARTICLE”
In 1993 when American physicist Leon Lederman was writing a book on the Higgs boson,he dubbed it “the goddamn particle”, and editor suggest” the God particle” instead.
Since 2012 researchers have made great strides in the hunt for the so-called “god particle” at the large Harden collides in Geneva,Switzerland. Where scientists at the CERN particle physics laboratory are looking for particles that come into existence when subatomic particles crash into one another at high energies.
On 10 December 2013,two of the physicists,Peter Higgs and Francois Englert,were awarded the Nobel prize in Physics for their theoretical prediction.

Expert says finding the elusive particle would rank as one of the top scientific achievement of the past 50 years.
