The desire and anxiety to find the Higgs boson is such that whenever there is any indication, however small, that the expected announcement may occur, a wave of unrest goes through the scientific world. The Higgs boson, the particle responsible for all other mass in the Universe, is also one of the major goals of modern physics.
Confirmation of its
existence (or not) after 40 years of research will lead to some answers, but
mostly many more doubts and questions and, perhaps, a revolution of knowledge.
The latest rumors on the subject suggest that the European Organization for
Nuclear Research (CERN) can do the expected announcement in early July during
the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) held in Melbourne,
Australia.
