- (0:00) How did you learn that you had received the prize? (1:18) Can you describe your work in simple terms? (4:19) Would you explain the standard model? (6:15) Did you realise that you had made a breakthrough? (10:15) Can you tell us a bit about your scientific career?
Peter Higgs received the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 “for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider”
Rest in peace Peter Higgs. 🫂
R.I.P❤❤❤ Thank you for your discoverys of Higgs boson.
Sir you will always be remembered for your contribution to science.🙏🙏
RIP Peter Higgs you will always be remembered for your great work
Peter Higgs is a great man in physics
Gracias por tus trabajos en Fisica Peter Higgs
As you know now, educating a dimension is no easy task but all credits to those who try you are at peace now with all those who did as you did for those younger than you
Many of the viewers were came after he died 😢🥺...
We lost a greatest scientist
I love physics ❤❤❤❤ physics is my fovouride subject
Peter Higgs ❤
Salute to the Great Scientist.
R.I.P ✨
Higgs boson...the god PARTICLE founder 😱 omh
RIP Prof. Peter Higgs
Rest in Peace 🩷🩷🌊🔭
RIP Peter Higgs
RIP
But ofcourse... death on Solar Eclipse April 8 2o24
Was waiting & watching.. who got "the Date"
🙌😇🙏💝💕💝💕💝🙏😇🙌
Why didn't you all award Satyendra Nath Bose with the Nobel Prize in Physics ? Just because he was from a third world country ??
Because he is dead !! The nobel prize cannot be awarded posthumously
Bose's work on statistical quantum mechanics led him to predict the existence of the particles that Dirac subsequently named after him, Bosons. He had a close working relationship with Einstein, and also knew Curie and DeBroglie, so obviously he was known, recognised and respected by the Physics community of the time. However, the particles he predicted were not proven to exist experimentally until 1995, by which time Bose had been dead for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, the Nobel prize is only awarded for discoveries in applied sciences, not mathematical predictions, and nor is it awarded posthumously. So while he was alive, his work was not eligible for the Nobel prize.
Peter Biggs predicted the Higgs boson in 1964, however he was not made a Nobel laureate until 2013, after the existence of his eponymous particle had been demonstrated at CERN, while he was still alive.
Sir Roger Penrose, another recent laureate, was awarded on the basis of work he had done on the conjectured existence of black holes in the 1970s in association with Stephen Hawking. A black hole was not found and imaged until 2019, allowing Penrose to be recognised by the Nobel committee. However, Hawking, probably the most celebrated theoretical physicist of the late C20th, was dead by that time, and did not receive a citation.
The prizes are awarded in recognition of the practical achievements of living scientists, and whatever you might think about that, those are the rules.
Does that answer your question?
Peter Higgs, b. 29.v.1929, Newcastle, England; d. 8.iv.2024 Edinburgh, Scotland. He is no longer among us, but his particles will go on for eternity.
RIP
