    so for george, and everyone else who also likes to understand things in it's most basic form (including myself)... everything in the universe consists of atoms, made up of smaller particles. up until tuesday, scientists have been able to identify all off the particles that make up everything in the universe, except for the particle that gives everything mass... the higgs boson particle does that... and yesterday, the scientists at cern announced that they have been able to recreate/observe/define this particle with 99% certainty...

    (in the last section of miko's explanation he states what this discovery means to scientists)
