Well, I'm no scientist, but the Higgs Boson is one the things that composes the Standard Model of physics. It's basically the things that gives other things mass. If this theoretical particle were to be found, it would be another piece in the puzzle of how the cosmos organizes itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson
