Higgs, 94, who was awarded the Nobel prize for physics in 2013 for his work in 1964 showing how the boson helped bind the universe together by giving particles their mass, died at home in Edinburgh on Monday.
After a series of experiments which began in earnest in 2008, his theory was proven by physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider at Cern in Switzerland in 2012;
You should not repeat telling fairy tales about a fictive particle nobody ever did find.
The sad reality is the large hadron collider could not find any energy/resonance of this fictive particle. So the investment made did flow down the river Rhone.
What one declared the Higgs was a particle found around 2001 one did keep as a spare in case of such a failure, The spare particle has absolutely nothing in common with the proclaimed Higgs...as it is a real particle and worst a Doublette as all proton derived particles....
The Higgs Nobel is the culmination of today's mafia science politics where one honors the guy that did bring in most money into the physics science circus.
