Peter Higgs, scientist who discovered the ‘god particle’, dies at 94
Peter Higgs, the “truly gifted scientist” who demonstrated the existence of the subatomic particle, has died aged 94.
Higgs, an emeritus professor at Edinburgh University, won a Nobel prize and a host of other plaudits for his work on what became known as the Higgs boson, showing how it gave the universe its shape. The hunt to prove the existence of the particle became one of science’s greatest projects – and it was found, in 2012, using the Large Hadron Collider.
The implications of the search were so vast that the Higgs boson was dubbed the “god particle”, though many scientists rejected the name. Higgs himself disdained the celebrity that its discovery brought, telling the BBC that it was “a bit of a nuisance”.
