The Higgs boson is the smallest part of the Higgs field, which physicists believe gives all matter the property of mass.
It is an elusive subatomic particle that, if found, would confirm a long-held understanding about why matter has mass and how the universe’s fundamental building blocks behave.
The ideas behind the search of Higgs Boson date back to 1960s when a British physicist named
Peter Higgs hypothesized that the existence of this particle in matter is well within the realms of possibility and it explains why the fundamental particles in matter have mass. Those particles, such as electrons, are the building blocks of the universe. Mass is a trait that combines with gravity to give an object weight. It is so named because it was hypothesized by the scientist Peter Higgs some 40 years ago.
