July 2012, ATLAS and CMS collaborations at LHC announced the discovery of a new particle with features consistent with those of the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics.
In just ten years physicists have made tremendous steps forward our understanding of the universe, not only confirming early on that the particle discovered in 2012 is indeed the Higgs boson but also allowing researchers to start building a picture of how the pervasive presence of a Higgs field throughout the universe was established a tenth of a billion of a second after the Big Bang.
Working on the 3rd run, CERN is understanding mysteries of universe from the origin to ultimate fate. So many questions still ahead, Dark energy, Dark matter, antimatter et al.
Two decades ago, UK Science Minister William Waldegrave announced he would award a bottle of champagne to the physicist who came up with the best way to explain the Higgs field and the Higgs boson to the general public.
