Mystery of the Particle That Holds the Universe Together

The Higgs Boson, also called the "God Particle," is like the secret glue holding the universe together! Scientists first theorized it decades ago, but it wasn’t actually discovered until 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider. Without it, atoms wouldn’t have mass, meaning everything—stars, planets, even you—might not exist the way we do now. 🤯 But here's the weird part: some theories suggest the Higgs Boson could be unstable and might one day cause the universe to collapse! Don’t panic just yet—it could take billions of years, if it happens at all. For now, it remains one of the biggest mysteries in physics, and scientists are still trying to unlock all its secrets. 🔬🌌 Credit: CC BY-SA 4.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
