Peter Higgs, the physicist who predicted the existence of the Higgs boson, has passed away at the age of 92. His groundbreaking work on how subatomic particles acquire mass has helped solve one of the universe's fundamental mysteries.
Peter Higgs ’ work helps solve one of the most fundamental riddles of the universe: how the Big Bang created something out of nothing 13.7 billion years agoThe university, where Higgs was emeritus professor, said he died Monday “peacefully at home following a short illness.”
In 2012, in one of the biggest breakthroughs in physics in decades, scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, announced that they had finally found a Higgs boson using the $10 billion particle collider built in a 17-mile tunnel under the Swiss-French border. Higgs’ work helps solve one of the most fundamental riddles of the universe: how the Big Bang created something out of nothing 13.7 billion years ago.
