Nobelist Peter Higgs, Who Claimed To Have Discovered the ‘God Particle,’ Dies at 94

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News

EDINBURGH, BRITAIN (Worthy News) – Peter Higgs, who claimed the existence of a new particle that came to be named after him (as well as God), has died at age 94, the University of Edinburgh (UoE) announced.

Higgs, an emeritus professor at the ancient Scotland-based UoE, passed away at his home in Edinburg, Scotland, on Monday, a “total eclipse day” in much of North America and Mexico. No further details were provided.

He will be remembered for his research that sparked a half-century, worldwide, billion-dollar search for the particle, culminating in champagne and becoming a Nobel laureate.

Higgs’s work inspired scientists to carry out a series of experiments. They began in earnest in 2008 when his theory was “proven” by physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider at Cern in Switzerland in 2012, scientists said.

Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 2013 for his work in 1964, which he said showed how the boson helped bind the universe together by giving particles their mass.

The Nobel prize was shared with François Englert, a Belgian theoretical physicist whose work in 1964 also contributed directly to the discovery.
