Higgs Boson

All the physics models of today include the Higgs Boson. The Higgs Boson is supposedly responsible for endowing other elementary particles with mass. Don't ask me what that means. "The Higgs boson is the key piece of the Standard Model, an ambitious suite of equations that has ruled the universe of high-energy physics for the last few decades, explaining how three of the four fundamental forces of nature work." Basically, if this theoretical particle does not exist, scientists have to come up with a whole new set of theories for how the universe functions. The data which eludes to this particle are bumps in data collected from the most powerful accelerator around 124 and 126 billion electron volts, which are numbers favored by physicists. Announcements from two independant groups in december also agree with these results. The most powerful accelerator, the Tevatron, also shut down in september. Does it exist? I don't care ^^
