COSMIC MESSAGE

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is searching for the Higgs boson, a fundamental particle predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. The term 'boson' refers to a type of particle similar to a photon. Peter Higgs and others published research predicting the mechanism through which such a particle might act. This search aims to understand how particles acquire mass.
