THE MOLECULE OF GOD...------.,,.----- KNOWLEDGE

The issue of the discovery of the particle of God (Higgs Boson) has caused great stir both in scientific society as well as in the world.
This term was coined in 1993 by American physicist and Nobel physicist Leon M. Lederman, who wrote a book that year, titled: The Particle of God: If the universe is the answer, what is the question?
Now, when is the beginning of the particle of God? It all began in the year 1964 when the young professor Peter Higgs, postulates the existence of a boson (which today bears his name) that fulfills the function of generating the mass of all existing materials in the world, his colleagues went to verify said theory.
The Higgs Boson was the most wanted particle for 48 years, it is a particle that had not been seen until now and whose discovery will help to know the origin of the mass.

To better understand its operation, it is possible to establish a simple analogy. Elementary particles are immersed in the Higgs field like fish in the water. A sardine in the sea, being small, interacts very little with the medium and can move quickly. By contrast, a whale, much larger in size, interacts with more water and moves more slowly.

When moving it to the subatomic case, the idea is that the greater the interaction of a particle with the Higgs field, the greater its mass. It could be said that this field "slows down" the particles the heavier they are, as is the case with water and fish.

Thus, an electron interacts little with the Higgs field, so it moves easily through it. Put another way, the Higgs field makes the electron have a minimum mass (would be the case of the sardine).
