Physics

●Peter W. Higgs (United Kingdom)

For predicting the existence of the Higgs boson particle that explains how elementary matter attained the mass to form stars and planets.

"François Englert and Peter W. Higgs are jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 for the theory of how particles acquire mass. In 1964, they proposed the theory independently of each other (Englert together with his now deceased colleague Robert Brout). In 2012, their ideas were confirmed by the discovery of a so called Higgs particle at the CERN laboratory outside Geneva in Switzerland," reported by Nobelprize.org.
