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.

Can a Higgs Boson create a bomb?
unlikely, but it would need serious studies humans are unable to reach for hundreds of years, there are quite a few big big steps to that
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.
Who had invented god cell theory recently?
Scientists at the CERN research centre near Geneva, Switzerland, on 4th July 2012 unveiled their latest findings in their search for the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle key to the formation of stars, planets and eventually life after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. This particle is known as god's particle.
Why was the Big Bang neither big nor did it bang?
According to the believes of physics and the big bang, we know that the big bang was both big and a bang. Since we are still receiving radiation from the big bang, So considering that factor I would say that it was big and a bang. What do you believe?

What are the ratings and certificates for The Big Bang Theory - 2007 The Higgs Boson Observation 6-3?
The Big Bang Theory - 2007 The Higgs Boson Observation 6-3 is rated/received certificates of: Netherlands:AL USA:TV-PG
Why is the Higgs Boson referred to as the God Particle?
The Higgs boson is referred to as the God particle for the reason that this kind of particle is predicted in physics theory of the Standard Model. Although the particle has nothing to do with God, the belief is, that the detection of this particle would lead to many explanations about the creation of the universe and the big bang and what caused it.

Why matter has mass?
Believe it or not... we don't know. It turns out this is one of the big unanswered questions in physics. There are a couple of competing theories. The one that currently has the most support says it has something to do with a particle called the Higgs boson, but so far no one has proven that the Higgs boson actually exists.

Why was the discovery of the Higgs boson such a big deal for physicists?
The Higgs boson is a big deal because it helps physicists better understand what happened just after the big bang. It helps them know how mass originated and it's what gives mass to most of the sub-atomic fundamental particles. They(fundamental particles) are all there was back after the first moments of the big bang, and if there wasn't anything to give these smaller particles mass, then they never could have gained energy and become anything more massive. Elementary particles are not very massive(approx. 2% of an atom), so when you hear people say the Higgs gives everything all it's mass, or even most, it is incorrect. It is a very complicated subject, but even when the higgs field is zero, some particles have a non-zero mass(1/1000th of normal). Only about 2% of your mass is from interactions with the Higgs field; the rest(about 98%) is from quark/anti-quark interactions with the gluon field indirectly related to the strong force.
What is the goal CERN?
By recreating Big Bang conditions, scientists at CERN trie to answer following questions:Why is there no-more antimatter left, although both, matter and antimatter were resulting from the Big Bang in equal parts and thus, should've annihilate themselves?Why do particles have mass? What is mass? Is the origin of mass the Higgs-boson?Does dark matter exist? What is dark matter?Do extra dimensions exist?
What is the significance of the Higgs particle?
The significance of the Higgs particle is that it is deemed to have created the universe we live in with the Big Bang Theory. It is said to give validity to the Standard Model of Physics.

What are the latest discoveries in science and technology and importance to the society?
Higgs Boson, it is closely related to the big bang theory and it might be able to explain what really happened back then. Also, it can make us understand what are the processes that are involved in creating mass or having mass. It can make further discoveries that are unbelievable.
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.
