In the beginning
Since the dawn of time, mankind has always looked for ways to understand and describe the universe around him. Science and physics have been fields of study through which we have sought language to describe the natural world.
In the early 1900's the scientific community discovered the atom. The atom consisted of three basic elements. These elements were photons, electrons and neutrons. We understood that this basic building block was foundational to all molecular structures. By the 1960's physicists had discovered dozens of sub atomic particles but lacked the language of a unifying theory.
In the 1970's physicists developed what is called the "Standard Model." It is the Standard Model that has been used to bring order to mathematical explanations of the known universe. Central to the Standard Model is a particle that was theorized to be the key to all mater. First put forward by Peter Higgs, it became known as the Higgs particle. This particle is 1000 times smaller than a photon. Without this central character in the equation of the Standard model, no matter of any kind stays together. It also became known as the "God Particle."
