London: Nobel laureate Peter Higgs died at the age of 94. The whole world knows him as the creator of the God particles. He explained the mystery of how the universe was created after the big bang. Won the Nobel Prize in Physics for the Higgs-Boson theory.

According to the University of Edinburgh, “Scientist Peter Higgs died at home on Monday, April 8, following an illness.” Higgs was Emeritus Professor at the University of Edinburgh. The university described him as “a great teacher, mentor and inspiration to the younger generation of scientists.” “The Higgs family has asked the media and the public to respect their privacy for now,” they added.

Peter Matheson, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh, said: “Higgs was a brilliant personality and an extraordinary scientist. His vision and imagination enriched our knowledge of the world. Thousands of scientists were inspired by his work. Future generations will continue his legacy.”

In 1964, scientist Peter Higgs announced the existence of a new element. The whole world is in turmoil. This new element is called the ‘Higgs boson particle’. But it took 50 years to confirm this element in the Large Hadron Collider. Higgs worked on how subatomic particles make up matter, how matter gets mass. It was the Higgs theory that helped us understand how mass was created in the universe.

The University of Edinburgh said their groundbreaking 1964 paper showed how “fundamental particles gain mass through the existence of a new subatomic particle” known as the Higgs boson. He and Belgian physicist François Englert received the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for the Higgs-Boson theory in 1964. Then, experiments conducted at the European Organization for Nuclear Research’s Large Hadron Collider proved the same theory nearly half a century later. Higgs was an honorary fellow of the Royal Society. He founded the Higgs Center for Theoretical Physics in 2012.
