    4: Unveiling the 'God Particle'
    2024/10/11
    In this episode of "WHAT IS THIS," we delve into the fascinating story of the Higgs boson, famously known as the "God Particle." Based on an insightful article by science journalist Robert Lea, we explore how this tiny particle plays a massive role in our understanding of the universe.

    We honor the life of British physicist Peter Higgs, who recently passed away at the age of 94. Peter Higgs was the brilliant mind who first proposed the existence of the Higgs boson. His work has helped scientists understand why particles have mass—an essential feature that allows stars, planets, and even life itself to exist.

    This episode draws on the an article titled “Higgs boson: The 'God Particle' explained” authored by Robert Lea on Space.com and last updated April 10, 2024. Robert Lea, a science journalist in the U.K. whose articles have been published in Physics World, New Scientist, Astronomy Magazine, All About Space, Newsweek and ZME Science.
