Higgs Boson Referred to as God particle
Higg Boson also popularly known as God particle, is the last missing piece in the standard model of physics which explains all the fundamental particles of universe, forces of nature, except gravity. Higgs boson existence was predicted in 1964 to clarify Higgs mechanism by which elementary particles attained mass.
What has been explained by Higg Boson is how or why all other particles in Universe acquire masses. Without the Higgs there would be no mass, stars, galaxies, life and no universe in its current form. Hence perhaps its referred to as God.
What Has been Achieved?
Scientist have found new subatomic particle that seems to behave like Higgs boson, has a mass about 126 times that of hydrogen atom is seen as a last missing piece of evidence as predicted to exist. This particle discovered in Geneva Lab shows signature remarkably similar to Higgs boson also dubbed as God Particle.
But there are still many unresolved issues and expectations from this experimental result. Even if its proven to be Higgs Boson, still there will be many issues because it does not explain gravity, accelerating universe and mysterious dark energy.
