Higgs Boson- The God Particle

The Higgs boson is a never seen before subatomic particle which is believed to be the source of mass to all of the universe. Scientists say that all matter is made up from the foundation elementary particles like quarks and electrons, however there is just one piece missing: Where does the mass come from? Recently, physicists working deep underground in Geneva, Switzerland believe they have discovered what seems to be the Higgs boson particle. In order to do this scientists have been smashing together subatomic particles(protons) at high energies, and sift through the even smaller particles that appear when they collide. Scientists say that it may not be the answer to all of the questions of the universe, but it will fill a huge gap that has been missing in physics for over 50 years.
