Peter Higgs

On 9th April, Peter Higgs, known for proposing the existence of the "god particle," passed away at 94.

Higgs predicted the Higgs boson in 1964, a particle central to understanding matter formation.
Confirmation of the Higgs boson came almost 50 years later at the Large Hadron Collider.
His theory explained how subatomic particles acquire mass, a key aspect of the Standard Model.
In 2012, scientists at CERN confirmed the existence of the Higgs boson.
Higgs, along with Francois Englert, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013 for their work.
Edinburgh University, where Higgs was emeritus professor, hailed his groundbreaking contributions.
His legacy as a gifted scientist and visionary will inspire future generations.
