With the LHC scientists were able to find the Higgs boson Bashny.Net

83-year-old Professor Peter Higgs wipes away tears of joy today, the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced the discovery of a subatomic particle, also known as the "Higgs boson" and "God particle».

This discovery is the biggest discovery in physics in the last few decades, it will fill many of the gaps our understanding of atomic structure.



The existence of the Higgs boson was put forward as a theory in the 1960s with the aim to explain why atoms have mass. He is the last missing particle of 11 predicted. Thus, the Higgs boson was the final piece of the puzzle of the structure of the atom: if he has not been found, physicists would have to rethink again existed for many years The standard model of the atom.

The discovery of the God particle must play an important role in many areas of medicine, computing, manufacturing; and it will help scientists understand the structure of the universe.
