WPRB News Science Special: The God Particle


Scientists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, have
stumbled upon something that may change the face of particle physics as we know it.
A recent “data bump” revealed the possible existence of the Higgs-Boson, also
known as the God particle because it is said to permeate all space and give
particles rest mass.
