Peter Higgs Shares Nobel Prize For Physics, But He Can't Be Found British scientist Peter Higgs has shared the Nobel Prize for physics with Francois Englert for their Higgs boson theory. About 50 years since their initial research took place, Peter Higgs and Belgian physicist Francois Englert have been awarded the Nobel Prize for their theory of the existence of the Higgs boson. Higgs's eponymous particle was thought to explain many fundamental secrets of quantum physics when it was dreamed up, but in the decades since that moment it proved extraordinarily elusive. Billions of dollars have been spent looking for telltale evidence of the Higgs particle, which has earned the misleading and overly emotive nickname of the "god particle," culminating in the Large Hadron Collider in Europe. The LHC is an enormous supercollider that has now, at last, proven that the Higgs particle exists (possibly many Higgs particles, even). The discovery prompted Stephen Hawking to suggest that it's about time Higgs was rewarded with the Nobel Prize, because finding the Higgs particle lends an enormous amount of support to our theories about the present and early universe. Higgs himself is, rather wonderfully, proving just as elusive for the Nobel Prize committee, which is said to have tried reaching him on all the phone numbers they have for him, but to no avail. They've emailed him about the news instead. According to some reports on Twitter from a colleague in Edinburgh, Higgs, 84, is on holiday "without a phone." Higgs instead issued a statement through Edinburgh University simply stating that he was "overwhelmed to receive this award," and noted he hoped it would "help raise awareness of the value of blue-sky research."

OTKRILI TAJNU SVEMIRA VIDEO Slavni Stephen Hawking se kladio da Božju česticu nikada neće pronaći: Peter Higgs trebao bi dobiti Nobelovu nagradu za fiziku! You Tube Britanski fizičar Peter Higgs koji je prije gotovo pedeset godina iznio teoriju o postojanju Božje čestice trebao bi dobiti Nobelovu nagradu, ocijenio je danas astrofizičar Stephen Hawking. FOTO Znanstvenici s Instituta Ruđer Bošković sudjelovali u povijesnom otkriću Rezultati koje je danas objavila Europska organizacija za nuklearna istraživanja (CERN) "nedvojbeno upućuju da smo otkrili Higgsov bozon koja daje masu drugim česticama", izjavio je Stephen Hawking na BBC-ju. "Ovo je važan rezultat koji bi Peteru Higgsu morao donijeti Nobelovu nagradu", ocijenio je slavni astrofizičar. VIDEO Pronašli smo Božju česticu: Na objavi otkrića Peter Higgs nije mogao zaustaviti suze Hawking se svojedobno kladio s fizičarem Gordonom Kaneom s Michiganskog sveučilišta da se Higgsova čestica neće pronaći. "Čini se da sam izgubio 100 dolara", kazao je danas. Peter Higgs (83) je 1964. došao na genijalnu zamisao o postojanju teorijske čestice čiji su trag, nakon dugog istraživanja, vjerojatno otkrili fizičari CERN-a. Nova čestica je konzistentna s očekivanjem za Higgsov bozon, ali znanstvenici ne mogu još sa stopostotnom sigurnošću potvrditi da se doista radi o dugo očekivanoj "Božjoj čestici". Pronađen Higgsov bozon: Zašto je ovo najvažnije otkriće u modernoj fizici? Sljedeći korak bit će odrediti točnu prirodu čestice i njezin značaj za razumijevanje svemira. Znanstvenici smatraju da bi ova čestica mogla biti ključ za razumijevanje 96 posto svemira, koje je još neotkriveno. Znanstvenici Instituta Ruđer Bošković (IRB) sudjelovali su, među ostalima, u istraživanjima CERN-a koja su dovela do otkrivanja nove subatomske čestice s obilježjima Higgsova bozona, popularno nazvanog "Božja čestica".
