About this listen
How do you find a particle that exists for only a trillionth of a trillionth of a second before vanishing? In this episode, we take you on a rollercoaster ride through the incredible 48-year-long hunt for the elusive Higgs Boson. Join us as we explore how scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider chased the instantaneous traces of this fundamental particle, collecting vast amounts of data to turn a tantalizing "3 Sigma hint" into a definitive "5 Sigma discovery." Learn about the high-stakes process and the monumental effort it took to finally confirm the existence of the particle responsible for giving everything in the universe its mass.
