Closer to God!? Here Comes the Higgs!

Have physicists finally proven the existence of the so-called  “God particle”!?  Not yet, but apparently, they are getting closer.  New data has narrowed down the search for the God particle.  If they can find it, the elusive subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, would confirm some theories including why matter has mass.

Scientists announced Tuesday that they had found hints but no definitive proof of the particle that is believed to be a basic component of the universe. They hope to determine whether it exists by next year.

If this doesn’t make any sense to you, you’re not alone.  But here’s the summary,  scientists have announced that some really important, and really complicated thing might exist, and if it does, they might find be able to find it within the year.  Yep. That about sums it up.  Oh and that thing has somehow made our very existence possible.  Nearer to God.
