The Quran Mentions Natural Phenomena God Particle. However, to scientists, this particle is now known as the Higgs Boson. The word Boson is derived from the name ‘Bose’. SN Bose was an Indian scientist, (d. 1974) who, in 1924, wrote a paper on the behavior of subatomic particles. This paper was greatly liked by Albert Einstein and other scientists. Since then this particle came to be known as the Boson, a name given to it by British scientist Paul Dirac. In 1964, another scientist, from Scotland, Peter Higgs, wrote a highly detailed paper on this subject which was titled, “Broken Symmetries and the Masses of Gauge Bosons”. Since then this much sought after particle has come to be called the Higgs Boson. From the scientific point of view, the Higgs Boson was very important, and became a major subject of research for the scientists of the world. Finally, in 1998, a special tunnel was made for research on this subject by a European Institute called the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). This tunnel was called the Large Hadron Collider. In this project 100 countries were involved and 10,000 scientists and engineers worked on it. The result of this project was announced on July 4, 2012, as ‘a near discovery’. The Higgs Boson is, in actual fact, the missing particle in the standard model of physics, and explains how the universe came into existence after the initial explosion.
