ABSTRACT  |  The discovery of a Higgs boson is a spectacular triumph for human-kind! Existence of the Higgs was first theorized in 1964 as a means to generate mass for fundamental particles. After an intense particle-hunt, its discovery fills the last missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics. I will explain the workings of the Higgs mechanism, review the decades-long quest for the elusive particle, describe how it was eventually detected, discuss what comes next and how it is tied to the fate of the universe.
