The God Particle



Well, as you know, CERN today announced "tantalizing hints" of the Higgs Boson -- the "god particle" that gives things -- other particles -- mass. Physicists need to find this particle to confirm the Standard Theory of sub-atomic particle interaction. They believe they should be able to confirm it, or rule it out, in the next few months. If ruled out, this would force a radical rethink of 'the way things are.' The video above explains the Higgs field and Higgs boson.
