It is NOT the particle that gives things weight, nor can we manipulate it to cause gravity.
It is the sign that a mechanism called the Higgs field exists. The Higgs field gives things mass, but something had to, so we've narrowed it down to THIS kind of way in which it happens. It could have been a more complicated system. But we have no good way of changing this field or anything.
