Nobel Laureate Peter Higgs Passes Away at 94

Peter Higgs, the physicist behind the groundbreaking Higgs boson theory, died peacefully at his home, leaving a profound legacy in particle physics.

Peter Higgs, renowned for his prediction of the Higgs boson, died at age 94 after a brief illness.
His theory on the Higgs field crucially explained how particles acquire mass, a cornerstone for the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
The discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN in 2012 confirmed Higgs' predictions and was a significant breakthrough in understanding the universe's fundamental forces.
Higgs received numerous accolades for his work, including the Nobel Prize in Physics, but remained a modest figure, often shunning the limelight.
Despite his passing, his contributions continue to influence ongoing research in particle physics, including studies into dark matter and dark energy.
