The Higgs boson, is well, a boson.
All bosons follow Bose-Einstein statistics and are therefore CAN occupy the same quantum state (as opposed to fermions, i.e. matter, which cannot.)
So basically, no. The Higgs boson does not occupy any space.

Is dark matter and God Particle the same?
They have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Dark matter is that "something out there" that interacts with baryonic matter (ie, that small amount of our Universe we understand) via gravity but not in any other way. We don't have a good idea of what this stuff IS, but we're working on it. The Higgs Boson (its nickname as the "God Particle" being one of the silliest names for anything in science, ever) is a particle predicted by the (hypothetical) existence of the Higgs Field. If Peter Higgs (and others) was right in explaining why some particles have mass and other particles don't, then the Higgs Boson should exist for about 10^-14 seconds, given the right conditions. When a particles that almost certainly were Higgs were found last year, it was big boost for the correctness of the Higgs Field.
What Is the relationship between a Higgs boson and an atom?
The Higgs boson is analogous to other bosons (photon, muon, gluon, graviton, etc.) which couple forces. Atoms are composed of fermions bound together by exchanging various virtual bosons (e.g. electrons are bound to the nucleus by exchanging virtual photons, the protons and neutrons in the nucleus are bound together by exchanging virtual muons, the quarks are bound inside protons and neutrons by exchanging virtual gluons), no real bosons of any type exist in an atom (although some atoms are themselves bosons even though they are entirely composed of fermions).
Is the higgs boson connected with the big bang?
The Higgs is the last missing piece of the Standard Model, the theory that describes the basic building blocks of the universe. The other 11 particles predicted by the model have been found and finding the Higgs would validate the model. Ruling it out or finding something more exotic would force a rethink on how the universe is put together. Scientists believe that in the first billionth of a second after the Big Bang, the universe was a gigantic soup of particles racing around at the speed of light without any mass to speak of. It was through their interaction with the Higgs field that they gained mass and eventually formed the universe.
What is the mass of a boson?
Because the boson is thought of as a force carrier and not matter, it doesn't have chemical potential. A link can be found below.Actually, this is true only when their number is not conserved... the spin of the boson is m=(+or-)1,2,3,... any integer.So the chemical potential is zero only for particles who are not conserved (photon...)Otherwise, it may be huge... and quite often negative... as in the classical limit, when the number of accessible state tend to be considerable, the chemical potential will tend toward negative infinity.
Why the particle higgs boron has not been observed?
Three reasons: 1) Its large mass requires a LOT of kinetic energy in any collision to end up with enough energy to even possibly result in a Higgs Boson being created. That's why no particle accelerator prior to FermiLab or CERN had anywhere near enough energy to even hope to make a Higgs. 2) The Higgs is a VERY unstable particle -- once created, it breaks down into other particles in a time on the order of 10^-22 seconds. No device can possibly detect a particle in existence for that length of time, so we are left with looking for the decay products of a Higgs. 3) A LOT of other particles have decay products that very closely resemble that of the Higgs, so we can never be 100% certain that "these decay products are from Higgs Bosons, while these are not." All we can do is make a LOT of collisions, record the decay products of all of them, and then ask the question, "What is the probability that NONE of these decay products are a Higgs?" The most recent data from CERN have led scientists to state that the odds that zero Higgs were created is 1000 to 1 -- pretty good odds. However, particle science protocol requires that this probability must be reduced to a million to one before stating, "The particle that we were looking for was definitely created during these experiments." That announcement will probably occur in the next year or so.
Is there any matter called 'GOD'?
The hypothetical particle called the Higgs boson is also known as the "god particle", pressumably because of its important role.

Does sugar occupy space?
Of course, any material occupe space.
When was Higgs Boson Found at LHC?
The Higgs boson first arose after a process called electroweak-symmetry breaking, which is a bit technical to explain in detail. Basically, the current theories for particle physics state that at a certain energy level (higher than we can reach at the moment) the electromagnetic force merges with the weak nuclear force. Below this energy level (or temperature) the two forces are distinct. You can view this as a phase transition, and the Higgs boson is a by product of it. This phase transition should have taken place mere seconds after the big bang, so if they exist (they haven't been experimentally verified), they have been present since almost the very start of the Universe.
Does sugar granules occupies space?
Of course, any material occupe space.
Why does smoke ocupy space?
Smoke is made up of small particles which have tiny mass. Any massive can occupy space. Light being electromagnetic cannot occupy space but traverses through space.
What is the space between an electron and proton in hydrogen atom filled with?
We can imagine the space between an electron and a proton, in a hydrogen atom, being filled with electromagnetic fields, since both of these particles generate such fields. But really, that is a mathematical device more than a reality. It's empty space. It isn't filled with anything.Answer:The space in an atom is part of the probability density gradient of the electron. Electrons are not any place in particular at any time (the Bohr concept of a solid little planet-like electrons circling the nucleus is not with us any longer), the space between the our "shell" of the atom and the nucleus represents an area where the electron is less likely to be than any other place in the atom. This space is thus filled with the electron, at least part of the time.Alternately, thanks to research on the Higgs boson's existence, there is a position that that a field exists that has non-zero strength everywhere (even in otherwise empty space) this is the this so-called Higgs field. This would fill any space in the atom as well as around the atom.
Does liquid take up space?
Yes all materials occupy space. Any liquid is no different and also does.
What can any molecule exist as?
Any molecule can exist as either: A Gas, a substance expanding occupy the space it is in and having no particular shape, A liquid, a substance not expanding, but reshaping to occupy the space it is in, and having no shape, A solid, a substance not adapting to the space it occupies in any way, and having a definite shape.
Are there any supercomputers linked to the Illuminati?
Not likely, unless there have been new technologies developed in the wake of the discovery of the Higgs-Boson Particle, allowing connections between modern computers, and a few hundred individuals who lived in Bavaria during the latter 1700's.
