  2. [...] first evidence of the Higgs Boson, a particle that may or may not exist. It is also known as the God particle because the Higgs if it does exist could explain three of the four forces of nature that account [...]

  3. [...] learning more about particle physics than ever before. They are even close to capturing the elusive Higgs boson, also known as the God [...]
