Physicists attack the ultimate
puzzle
A worldwide scientific effort is under way to build a powerful
machine aimed at answering a fundamental question: Why does
matter have substance?
In essence, current theories simply cannot
explain why things in the material world exist. But a series of
recent triumphs in the field of high-energy particle physics have

presence of Higgs bosons, hypothetical subatomic particles unlike
any others found so far.
