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.

What is looking for higgs Boson?

The two most prominent particle colliders that are looking for the Higgs boson are the Tevatron at FermiLab (although that one is going to close soon) and the LHC at CERN.


Has the Higgs boson been found yet?

We are not sure if the theorized Higgs boson is real or not. If it is, it would be provide some support to ideas about what mass (and, therefore, gravity, which is associated mass) really is. We're still looking for experimental support that the Higgs boson is real, and now that the Large Hadron Collider is up and running, all (interested) eyes are on CERN and awaiting results.


Has the LHC detected the Higgs boson?

No, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has not detected the theorized Higgs boson. The LHC was shut down because of some technical difficulties, and it's finally up and running. We're still waiting for results. Fermilab was working on finding the Higgs, but lacks the power to deliver the kinds of acceleration required to set up conditions under which this predicted particle might appear. Links are provided below, and are updated fastidiously.


Can god fit in scientific story of higgs boson?

The Higgs Boson is called the "God" particle because it would help explain on of physics biggest mysteries: how gravity works. Can both God and the Higgs Boson exist? Yes, if God exists, then he could have created the Higgs Boson, like he created other particles.


Who discovered higgs boson particle?

The Higgs boson has not yet been discovered. It has been predicted by numerous physicists (the best known is probably Peter Higgs, since the particle was named after him, but more people worked on it) and many think that it is required to explain certain features of the Standard Model, which is the model which describes particle interactions at a small scale. Recently FermiLab has published results which show they may have found the Higgs boson in their collider experiments, but the uncertainties are still too great to be able to claim with confidence that the particle has been found. If it exists, it will be found by the LHC-experiment at CERN.

Where is the Higgs boson located?

The Higgs boson is a subatomic particle that can be found in high-energy particle physics experiments, such as those conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. It is not located in a specific place but is created temporarily in particle collisions before quickly decaying into other particles.

Higgs boson was created in 2011.
