Today marks the 11th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs Boson by CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The final missing piece of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, it's one of the biggest discoveries of the 21st Century. The Higgs Boson is what's responsible for giving other particles mass. ⚛️

@ronak wow, it has only been 11 years)) anyway, i believe it is not yet complete - it does not include gravity (and perhaps more)

@amurosi True, true. The Standard Model is still incomplete. It doesn't explain gravity, why matter dominated anti-matter, dark matter/dark energy, etc. But we'll get there. :)
