Higgs Fun Facts
The Higgs boson is often referred to as the God particle, a term popularized by the media, even though physicists prefer calling it by its official name to avoid misleading associations.
The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 at CERN confirmed a key part of the Standard Model of particle physics, leading to a Nobel Prize for François Englert and Peter Higgs in 2013, but it took over 50 years of theoretical work before it was finally detected.
