CERN Scientist Talks About Higgs Boson, Particle Colliders And End Of The World

Big BangEarlier this month, scientists from CERN announced that they had found the theoretical particle called the Higgs Boson. The entire world knew they found it, but not many people actually knew what the Higgs is, or how it's discovered. Turns out it's a pretty difficult thing to do. First, you need a really, really big machine called a particle accelerator. That machine shoots streams of particles at one another until they collide. When they collide, the energy they give off is something in the ball park of the big bang (yes, that big bang), but much smaller.
