Explanation

The Higgs boson is nicknamed the 'God Particle' in popular media because its discovery confirmed the mechanism that gives fundamental particles their mass. It was discovered at CERN in 2012. Neutrinos are nearly massless particles, antimatter is composed of antiparticles, and positrons are antimatter electrons - none are the source of mass.
