It was the final piece needed to confirm the standard model of particle physics as it now stands. There are still many outstanding questions \u2014 for example, it seems like nothing in the standard model can explain what dark matter is. So the discovery of the Higgs wasn\u2019t the end of particle physics \u2014 but it may be the way forward. Many physicists think that the secret to finding the elusive dark matter particle will come by studying the Higgs. In fact, the first tantalizing evidence is already in.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the Space Time Merch Store.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbsspacetime.com\/shop\">https:\/\/www.pbsspacetime.com\/shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the mailing list to get episode notifications and hear special announcements!<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2022\/09\/could-the-higgs-boson-lead-us-to-dark-matter\">Continue reading \u201cCould the Higgs Boson Lead Us to Dark Matter?\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For more information please go \u27bc https:\/\/nordvpn.com\/spacetime.
