Most people think they know what mass is. The question of the origin of mass appears a child-like question.
However, this question has driven the understanding of elementary particles and their interactions in many propounding ways
for last one century. The concept of mass and searches for different origins of mass will be reviewed.
The latest discovery, a Higgs particle at the LHC was a great victory in finding the origin of the elementary particle masses.
I will discuss the discovery of a Higgs particle, its implication, and further searches for different sources of mass.
