Following last year’s discovery of the Higgs boson particle – the so-called “God particle” that answers how the particles have masses – Xavier Calmet and PhD student Michael Atkins looked at how the Higgs field interacts with gravity. Besides giving masses to all known particles, it’s possible that the Higgs boson played a significant role in the expansion of the Universe after the Big Bang.
