ALL- What's a Higg's Boson?

As you'll probably have heard there is a lot of speculation at the moment about whether the scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva have found the Higg's Boson particle. It's a very important discovery if it is true because it completes 'The Standard Model' which is a physics theory which attempts to explain the physical laws of the universe.

Here is a video about another theory called Supersymmetry that scientist think might explain the physics of very small particles:


Nothing is certain and this is the very edge of our current understanding in particle physics. We will need scientists and mathematicians to carry on this work in the future. Are you up for the challenge?
