Nobel laureate Peter Higgs, who predicted the existence of the Higgs boson or ‘God Particle,’ crucial for understanding how particles acquire mass, died at the age of 94. His theoretical work, confirmed half a century later at CERN, has laid the foundation for modern particle physics.
The Higgs boson, often referred to as the God Particle, is essential for the Standard Model of particle physics. It explains the mechanism through which particles obtain mass. Its discovery at CERN in 2012 confirmed theories proposed by Higgs and others in the 1960s, marking a significant milestone in the field.
