The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator may have discovered the Higgs boson, voices online say. The speculation was prompted by the fact that the European Organization for Nuclear Research [CERN] said that an important announcement about the particle is to be made next week.
The Higgs boson is an unconfirmed part of the Standard Model, which is theoretically responsible for allowing energy to acquire mass. Discovering it would be one of the most monumental findings in the history of science,
Space reports.
The LHC was developed specifically to search for this particle, but its particle beams have yet to reproduce the conditions necessary for the particle to become obvious. However, that may have changed since the last time CERN announced anything related to the Higgs boson.
