Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, known for proposing the existence of the Higgs boson, or "God particle," has passed away at 94. His work helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang and won him the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics. Higgs' prediction of the Higgs boson in 1964 was confirmed almost 50 years later at the Large Hadron Collider, marking a significant breakthrough in particle physics. His legacy continues to inspire scientists and enrich our understanding of the universe.
