V pondělí 8. dubna zemřel Peter Higgs, fyzik který “objevil” Higgs boson částici.
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; the Nobel prize was shared with François Englert, a Belgian theoretical physicist whose work in 1964 also contributed directly to the discovery.

Všechno kolem LHC je jedním z mála pozemských příkladů, který se blíží opravdovému sci-fi. Nikdy mě nepřestane fascinovat a inspirovat.
An immensely shy man who disliked the fuss, Higgs had left home for a quiet lunch of soup and trout in Leith on the day of the announcement [Higgs boson discovery], to be stopped by a former neighbour who gave him the news on his way home.
