RE: CERN confirms new particle.

This came up tonight with my friends actually. One of them told me they found the 'god particle' and she wanted me to read the article so I could explain to her what the implications were. I wasn't in the mood for research right there and then though.

Does anyone understand in a nutshell what the Higgs Boson particle is? I know that might not be what they discovered but I guess my friend wanted me to explain the 'worst case scenario' to her. She seemed quite shocked about this article actually, but hid it fairly well.
