	The Higgs Boson, first theorized in the 1960's along with the higgs field (a field to exist everywhere in the universe at once), was confirmed recently to exist through research conducted at the Large Hadron Collider. Termed "the God particle", the higgs boson has no spin and is extremely short-lived before decaying. This particle still is under the spotlight in particle physics, as much is theorized about the higgs boson to complete the standard model and particle physics theory, but yet to be confirmed.

Gauge Bosons: Carriers of Fundamental Forces

	===Gauge Bosons: Carriers of Fundamental Forces===		===Gauge Bosons: Carriers of Fundamental Forces===
	There are four fundamental forces: electromagnetic force, gravity, strong force, and weak force. Each of these are hypothesized to have a carrier particle. These particles are classified together as Gauge Bosons.		There are four fundamental forces: electromagnetic force, gravity, strong force, and weak force. Each of these are hypothesized to have a massless carrier particle. These particles are classified together as Gauge Bosons. Although these do not hold mass, they do hold energy(seeing as they carry force) and therefore mass can be calculated by mass-energy equivalence, which is an exceptionally important idea because it enables scientists to perform a variety of calculations on these particles.
