"the Higgs boson is real and will soon be discovered."

But Hawking bet him $100 (about £70) that he is wrong,

Among the particles they hope will be scattered in the colossal explosions will be the sought-after Higgs boson, the so-called God particle, which according to the Standard Model of particle physics is responsible for generating mass.

Other questions the LHC may help answer include the nature of "dark_matter," which scientists say makes up some 95 percent of the universe but which has not yet been detected.
