Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied. The Higgs boson discovered at the CERN particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, in 2012, is what, according to the Standard Model of particle physics gives all other fundamental particles mass. However, despite the work of thousands of researchers … Read more
