physicists are hoping to find the Higgs boson, because this is the only missing link in the general model of physics. the theory is that this is the particle that gives other particles their mass. the higgs boson is basically dark matter it is a very heavy particle. the theory is that as particles pass through the higgs field they interact with it, gaining their mass. not finding the higgs boson would be a huge blow to boson's theory and physics would still be stuck where it is at the moment, trying to work out why this universe IS and why matter triumphed over anti-matter in the microseconds after the big bang. we would be back to square one and physicists would give up on the higgs theory and search for a new theory to base more research on.

It could be a huge leap forward scientifically if it is found. Simply put, If it exists, then the big bang happened. Pretty crazy huh?
