The efforts to detect the existence of Higgs boson particle have become frequent news in the recent past. What is/are the importance/importances of discovering this particle?

1. It will enable us to understand as to why elementary particles have mass.

2. It will enable us in the near future to develop the technology of transferring matter from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.

3. It will enable us to crease better fuels for nuclear mission.

Explanation:

Option 1: The Higgs boson has long been thought the key to resolving the mystery of the origin of mass. The Higgs boson is ssociated with a field, called the Higgs field, theorized to pervade the universe. As other particles travel though this field, they acquire mass much as swimmers moving through a pool get wet, the thinking goes.

Option 2 and 3 :-(Scientist are not sure about these discoveries yet so should be considered as Wrong/Doubtful)

Higgs Boson is not a main item that will open the way for teleportation but it will help to understand about mass, item and travel in time and space. In the close or far future, Higgs Boson may help us to create an unbelievable energy source.
