| The Higgs boson is discovered, the "God particle" |
On July 4, 2012, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, announced the discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson, proposed by Peter Higgs in 1964.
Subsequent research about the characteristics, interactions and properties This particle quantum led scientists to conclude that this was indeed the Higgs boson. The Higgs boson was proposed in the standard model, a model that tries to explain the reason for the presence of mass in elementary particles. The existence of the Higgs boson, then, is key to understanding how matter was formed in the universe, and therefore is also known as the "God particle". This particle has no electric charge or color, is very unstable and its half-life is approximately zeptosegundo, ie a miltrillonésima of a second. For this important theoretical discovery in 2013 and François Englert Peter Higgs received the Nobel Prize in Physics.
