Scientists at CERN made an announcement about the Higgs Boson (aka the "God Particle") this morning. The Higgs Boson is a subatomic particle that has been predicted to exist, but has never actually been observed... Until now. Finding the Higgs Boson ties up a loose end of the Standard Model of physics, which requires a Higgs-like particle to exist. "We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature," said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer. "The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to more detailed studies... and is likely to shed light on other mysteries of our universe."
