What is this 'God Particle' actually?

The "God" Particle is the Higgs Boson. A sub atomic particle recently released at the CERN collider in Switzerland. The particle was named about 50 years ago as the Boson, Though it was named in the early 1960's it was merely theoretical until the recent CERN experiments found a particle which acted in the theoretical parameters of the Boson. the name God Particle is a creation of the mass media.

The particle itself is one of a group of sub atomic particles which combine to make up all matter and forces in the universe. As this particle is a basic source of gravity it holds many other particle together this means it is essential for all forms of matter. Calling it the boson is just not spectacular enough for the media, the media then created the name God particle. As such other than being a requirement of creation the boson is neither God like nor does it prove or disprove the existance of any God.
