- Nobel prize winning British physicist Peter Higgs passed away recently.
- Peter Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2013 for discovering the God Particle.
- In 1964, Higgs predicted the presence of a new particle.
- He proposed that there must be a subatomic particle of a certain dimension that might explain how other particles — and all the stars and planets in the cosmos gained mass.
- But it wasn't until 2012 that his theory was confirmed.
- In 2012, scientists at CERN, announced that they had finally discovered the Higgs boson.
- The Higgs boson was dubbed the God Particle in the 1992 book "The God Particle: If the Universe is the Answer, What Is the Question?" by the physicist Dr. Leon Lederman.
