Peter Higgs who is the Nobel prize-winning physicist has passed at the age of 94. He was well known for proposed the god particle. It was really helpful in explain how does the matter formed post Big Bang. The University of Edinburgh has stated this report.
According to the sources, Higgs was the emeritus professor in the University. Due to short illness, he was passed away at home. When he was alive, he predicted the new particle existence. It was also called Higgs Boson in 1964.
However, it was almost 50 years before the existence of particles was confirmed at the Large Hadron Collider. If you check with the Higgs theory, it is completely related to how subatomic particles are considered the building blocks of matter in order to get mass. For information, this is the theoretical understanding of the central part of the standard model. It mainly describes the physics of how the world is being constructed.
On the other hand, if you check with Edinburgh University, you will see that the paper demonstrated in 1964 that elemental particles mainly achieve mass through the respective existence of a new subatomic particle. Later, it was known as the Higgs boson.
During the year 2012, scientists at CERN mainly announced that they finally found Higgs boson with $10 billion particle collider which is built in 17 mile tunnel below the border of Swiss-French as per sources.
Recently, Edinburgh University Vice Chancellor Peter Mathieson mentioned that the Higgs, who was born in the Scottish capital, is considered the best person and remarkable individual. He was the best scientist, and his vision and imagination helped our knowledge adapt and improve. Also, they got an opportunity to learn many things from him, and they are going to miss him badly.
He was the inspiration to thousands of scientists globally and all believing that the legacy will continue to inspire various people who want to become scientists in the future and the generations to come. However, his loss will create huge impact among the scientists and who current generations who are passionate about becoming a scientist.
We can see that many scientists are still having a look at his approach and get inspired of his work. For sure, he will be missed by all for so many reasons in this scientific industry and the condolences to his family members.
