Rival scientists have launched a campaign to rename the so-called 'God particle', claiming that British physicist Peter Higgs does not deserve all the credit for the breakthrough discovery. And while it may not seem to be a particularly burning issue,

French village of Cessy near Geneva in Switzerland April 15, 2013...Clad in long white coats, they spend their days smashing particles together in the hunt for exotic creatures like quarks and squarks, leptons and sleptons -- and the Higgs Boson.

But physicists are cagey about whether the new particle they've found will fit their predictions or not. So far, the data suggest that the Higgs, the particle thought to explain how other particles get their mass, is not presenting any surprises,

Higgs boson, a particle predicted purely by mathematical reasoning back in 1964. Initial measurements announced last July confirmed it was a boson , and that its mass was about 126 GeV (gigaelectronvolts). Both of these findings strongly suggested

Physicists are irked when we in the media call the Higgs Boson, "The God Particle." The Higgs is important because the elusive subatomic particle is believed to give everything its mass. But as Marcelo Gleiser of NPR's 13.7 explained , the nickname

Here are five types of bizarre particles that could turn up in atom-smashing experiments. With the recent confirmation of a Higgs Boson discovery, many physicists were at least a little disappointed. That's because all signs point to it confirming
