That hasn't been discovered they assumed it existed then looked for evidence to fit their assumptions.

"The Higgs boson or Higgs particle is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics. It is the last unobserved particle of that model and has been predicted to exist since the 1960s. It may have been detected at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. Proving its existence would settle questions about the existence of the extremely significant[6] Higgs field—the simplest[7] of several proposed causes for electroweak symmetry breaking and the means by which elementary particles acquire mass.[Note 3]" - Wikipedia

I am just skeptical after the debacle of them claiming electrons traveled faster than light.
