CERN Trip

During our trip to CERN I learned more on the Higgs Boson. Higgs Boson is physics' most searched particle for over the last 40 years. This interests me because the information on this particle states the particle doesn't actually do very much. The existence of evidence of the BEH (Brout-Englert-Higgs) field explains why fundamental particles have a mass. It is in this state of the BEH field where the Higgs Boson was predicted in 1964 by Peter Higgs, and discovered at CERN by experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012.

    It is really neat that such an inspired theory could be proved in this massive state of the art laboratory. I believe that this discovery was pivotal to the understanding of human kind and the validation of hypothesis branched out from past theory.
