The shy man who changed our understanding of the Universe
He helped unravel one of the greatest enigmas in physics, earning his place alongside names like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.
The University of Edinburgh says he passed away peacefully in his home.
Higgs was famous for his groundbreaking theory from the 1960s, which proposed a new particle known as the
Higgs boson
. He argued that the boson helped bind the universe together by giving particles their mass. Decades later, his theory was proven by physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider at Cern in Switzerland.
He was honored with the Nobel Prize for physics in 2013.
