Tuesday, March 19th, 2013

Scientists have announced they believe a subatomic particle discovered last year is indeed the Higgs boson (or God particle), they have been searching for.

“The preliminary results with the full 2012 data set are magnificent and to me it is clear that we are dealing with a Higgs boson though we still have a long way to go to know what kind of Higgs boson it is,” said spokesperson Joe Incandela.

The findings were announced during the Moriond Conference, a gathering of physicists in the Italian Alps.
