The Higg’s Boson - God's Particle

The talks around Higgs Boson, popularly known as God’s Particle are back again. For those of you who don’t know, Higg’s Boson is the basic particle of the universe. It is also a vital particle which breaks down the electroweak symmetry in the Higgs Standard Model. Various experiments are being at conducted to gather more information about Higg’s Boson. For this purpose, a Large Hadron Collider or LHC is especially created at CERN.  

Mass still is among the strangest things to understand. Many scientist and physicists have tried to explain it but have failed till date. Earlier mass was seen only as an intrinsic part of the universe. However, Newton helped a lot by relating it with inertia. Problem started when Einstein came up with as theory that the mass increases when object attains speed close to the light speed. There was absolutely no reason behind this change. Present ideas and suggestions conclude that mass did not originate during the Big Bang phase, but after some time. At that time the mass existed only in the form of super fluid particles arranged in symmetry. However, after colliding the mass particles condensed and as a result of which the symmetry was broken. The resulted field of virtual particles is known as Higg’s field.

For better understating of this field, scientists are relying of Large Hadron Collider or LHC. This machine accelerates particles at speed comparable to speed of light. They are trying to create Higg’s Boson or God Particle in Large Hadron Collider. By studying the characteristics as well as nature of Higg’s Boson, scientists will be able to find out the mystery behind Higg’s field.

Large Hadron Collider is quite unique. It has got an underground tunnel which extends more than 27 kilometers and it is said to cost more than five billion dollars. The Higg’s Boson or God Particle will appear only for a fraction of time that too at only few places in Large Hadron Collider.

The world is waiting for the appearance of Higg’s Boson. This particle when detected will solve quite a few question related to quantum physics and universe.
