How the Higgs could explain secrets of the universe

Sandrine Ceurstemont, editor, New Scientist TV

Last week, the world's most wanted particle - the elusive Higgs boson - was discovered, hailing a major breakthrough in particle physics. The particle now completes the standard model, so does that mean there's nothing left to discover?

Not exactly. In this animation, see why finding the Higgs is just the beginning and how it could be key to unlocking mysteries about our universe. The particle could help explain dark matter or gravity and could help test other theories like supersymmetry. It's even possible that it's part of a clique: there could be up to five different types of Higgs bosons.

For more about the physics behind the discovery, watch why the Higgs is the missing link or see how it could open up supersymmetry.
