You’ve probably heard the term “God Particle” before—but what does it actually mean? Is it really something divine, or just a dramatic nickname? In this video, we break down the science behind the Higgs boson in a simple and human way. From its origins in the 1960s to its groundbreaking discovery at CERN, we explore how this tiny particle helps explain one of the biggest mysteries in the universe: why anything has mass at all. We’ll also dive into how scientists detected it using the Large Hadron Collider, why it matters to our everyday existence, and what questions still remain unanswered. Whether you’re into science or just curious about how the universe works, this is one story that shows how far human curiosity can go.
