Hints of Higgs from the Large Hadron Collider
NASA APOD · CERN
COSMIC MESSAGE
The Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful particle accelerator ever built, seeks to understand why objects have mass. Since 2008, CERN's LHC has smashed protons together at immense speeds. Scientists are exploring the idea that mass comes from particles interacting with a pervasive field of virtual Higgs particles. Detecting a real Higgs boson would confirm this leading explanation.
