The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle that gives mass to other particles. It was discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider, but its properties are still being explored. A new study suggests that the Higgs boson could also explain cosmic inflation, a rapid Universe expansion that occurred shortly after the Big Bang. This could lead to a unified theory of physics that connects the microscopic and cosmic scales.
