According to Big Bang theory of origin of universe, which basic unit is termed as 'God's Particle'?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Higgs Boson
The Higgs boson is the particle of the Higgs field, which, in the Standard Model of particle physics, gives the other elementary particles their mass; without it, matter could not have formed after the Big Bang. It was predicted by Peter Higgs and others in 1964 and found at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider in 2012. The popular name ‘God particle’ comes from the title of a 1993 book by the physicist Leon Lederman. The term boson honours the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose.
