Scientists have discovered a new type of particle consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson, which would explain why there is mass in the universe, the CERN laboratory announced in Geneva. However, the experiment's spokesperson Joe Icandela stressed that the results were preliminary. 'The implications are very significant and it is precisely for this reason that we must be extremely diligent in all of our studies and cross-checks.' British scientist Peter Higgs and others developed a theory explaining why matter exists, by introducing the Higgs boson as a key part of the mechanism that allows particles to gain mass.
