In the quest of studying sub atomic particles, the Scientists in the field of particle Physics had a startling discovery in the year 2012. In a massive experiment referred as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) they could find the existence of the Higgs field, which is made up of Higgs Boson, which is also called as the God Particle!. It has been a very long journey in the field of particle physics where scientists are studying matter and sub atomic particles in the minute details. As we all know, every atom consists of proton and neutron at the center, that is the nucleus, and electrons revolve around the nucleus.
The standard model proposed by Scientific community explains the sub atomic particles which are responsible for the formation of protons, neutrons. Some of them can be listed as quarks, leptons etc. These sub atomic particles are very very small in the size. The basic question was what is that which gives the mass to these sub atomic particles? What scientists revealed through that experiment is that, there is a continuous field of energy which they called as the Higgs field. While traversing through this field sub atomic particles produces some friction with this Higgs field, which in result gives mass to those sub atomic particles!
Why this discovery is so important? This study tells that there is a continuous field of energy which is responsible for the creation of sub atomic particles and in turn for the existence of the entire universe!!!This field is the basic subtratum of the entire creation! Is this really a new discovery? May be for the scientists who are unaware of our Vedas its completely new and astonishing, but in fact the description of so called Higgs field by the Scientists of todays time, is referred as the Brahman in our vedas and few shlokas from Nasadiya sukta from Rigvedas gives a marvelous explanation of such a field, the Brahman which also can be termed as the God the Divine! Our sages not only described such an energy field but it was an experiencial reality, not just an intellectual understanding!
I strongly recommend to watch the short talk on Higgs Boson by H.H. Sri Sri Ravishankar ji
