There are two scientific endeavours that are vain per definition:
1. to find the smallest particle and
2. to find species,
which Bertrand Russell demonstrated about a hundred years ago.
These two endeavours do, however, share one property: being considered as self-evidently within reach by many physicists (Higg's particle-ists) and biologists (cladists), respectively.
The belief of these physicists and biologists is so strong that the former claim that they have found it with a certain probability and the latter simply turns matters up-side-down by considering it as found.
Don't accept their claims! Fact is that neither Higg's particle-ists nor cladists ever will find their respective dream, because it simply isn't to be found, as Bertrand Russell demonstrated. They need money and have to produce results, but their respective strives are actually vain. We can understand how reality functions, in several different ways, but not find out what it is. That's the fact of life we have to accept and live with.

Why (the) Higgs boson will never be found
(The) Higgs boson will, of course, never be found, for the simple reason that kinds do not exist (i.e., are not real), as theoretically shown by Russell's paradox and empirically evidenced by the fact that time is relative to space. This fact (i.e., that kinds do not exist) does, of course, also apply on the class "Higgs boson" (given that it does not consist of a single object - "The True Higgs boson". Physicists' attempt to "prove the existence" of this class (or of any class) is nothing but ridiculous. even if performed in the high-tech context at Cern. It is, none-the-less, nothing but a case of what I would like to call "blinding by belief" - a turning of deduction into induction under influence of a subjective belief that reality must be rational, although both theory and facts contradict this belief. Reality is, on the contrary, obviously, irrational, although following some basic principles that allows us to discuss it rationally. Reality isn't rational, only we are (at least some of us). (The) Higgs boson is thus, of course, just a tool that we (objectivists) use to be able to talk about reality both consistently and rationally. Without it, not only we (objectivists), but all of us are totally lost. The only alternative is the subjective (i.e., believing) contradiction (see Cladistics) that presently lead some physicists into a vain chase for (the) Higgs boson.
When will subjectivists stop chasing their own classification (i.e., "what really is")? I can give them the answer: reality is, and it is irrational. That's why it can't stop. We can only discuss it, not find out what it "really is". (If we could prove it to be something else than what it is, then we could also prove this something to be something else, and so on in an endless transformation between representations of representations.)
These physicists are like donkeys chasing the carrot in front of their eyes (just like cladists). The subject for their chase is their own assumption, and their own assumption is contradictory as a conclusion. They are simply contradictory from the beginning to the end.
