Peter Higgs, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who proposed the existence of the 'God particle' to explain how matter formed after the Big Bang, has died at the age of 94, the University of Edinburgh announced on Tuesday. Higgs predicted the existence of a new particle, the Higgs boson, in 1964, but it took nearly 50 years to confirm its existence with the Large Hadron Collider. Higgs' theory explained how subatomic particles, which make up matter, acquire mass.
El físico ganador del Nobel, Peter Higgs , quien planteó la existencia de la “partícula de Dios”, que ayudaría a explicar cómo se formó la materia tras el Big Bang , murió a los 94 años, informó el martes la Universidad de Edimburgo. La universidad, donde Higgs era profesor emérito, dijo que murió el lunes “pacíficamente en casa luego de una breve enfermedad”.
La Universidad de Edimburgo dijo que el revolucionario artículo de Higgs de 1964 demostró cómo “las partículas elementales adquirían masa mediante la existencia de una nueva partícula subatómica” que llegó a conocerse como el bosón de Higgs.
