Dr. McSwain joins the buzz of the international physics community at the news that scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, or CERN have proven (with 99.99994% certainty) that the Higgs boson particle exists. In an interview with reporters from local TV69 news, McSwain said, "It's about the quest of understanding our universe. It is a puzzle out there waiting to be solved." The finding of this elusive particle is a huge step in unlocking the very keys to how matter is created.
