In the 1960's, British physicist Peter Higgs theorized the existence of a new "boson" (a subatomic particle) necessary to give other particles mass and hold all matter together. Without them, the theory says, atoms could not form and there would be no you or me or anything of mass. Now experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland have discovered a new particle that acts like it is the Higgs boson. It's a really big deal.
