Matter
and
antimatter
are proposed to collide and convert into energy as described by Einstein's famous equation
E=mc2.
Particles with
more
energy have
greater
interactions with the Higgs field, resulting in
larger
masses.
The
Higgs field permeates
all space, giving particles
mass
as they move through it.
The
Higgs boson
is the only
elementary particle
that has been directly
observed.
Dark matter
makes up about
85
% of all
matter
in the
universe
but has not been directly
observed
or
detected.
The
Higgs boson
is responsible for giving particles
mass
through its
interaction
with them.
The
LHC
has detected
evidence
supporting the existence of the
Higgs boson.
Higgs bosons
can be produced at
high-energy accelerators
like CERN's Large Hadron Collider (
LHC
).
Proton decay
has
not
been
observed
yet, but
scientists
continue to
search
for
evidence.
Quarks
are fundamental
building blocks
of
matter
, forming
protons
and
neutrons.
When
two protons collide at very
high speeds
, they produce many other particles including W and
Z
bosons, which then
decay
into
electrons
or
muons.

The
Higgs Boson
is the only
elementary particle
that gives
mass
to all other
particles.
