The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was designed and built at a cost of $10 billion with the explicit goal of finding the Higgs boson. The Higgs Field uses it to assign mass to particles.

The LHC discovered the Higgs boson last year. It is being repurposed now for other research. Also, a new collider is in the planning stages that will be 10 times the size of the LHC.

Profound discoveries in physics are coming at a dizzying pace. It's a great time to be alive.
