"On July 4, 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva made history when they discovered an entirely new type of subatomic particle that many scientists believe is the Higgs boson. For forty years, physicists searched for this capstone to the Standard Model of parti…

This science story, the biggest of our time, spans four decades, weaving together the personal narratives and international rivalries behind the search for the "God particle," or Higgs boson. A story of grand ambition, intense competition, clashing egos, and occasionally spectac…
Relates the history of the forty-year search for the Higgs boson, also known as the "God" particle, and the intense rivalries, clashing egos, and grand ambition behind the search to solve the mystery of one of the biggest unanswered questions in physics.
Chronicles the history of the scientific search for the "God" particle, or Higgs boson, discussing the international rivalries, intense competition, failures, and other aspects involved in the scientific search for the origin of mass.
