British physicist Prof. Peter Higgs C015 / 4138
British theoretical physicist Professor Peter Higgs (b. 1929). In 1964, Higgs predicted the existence of a new type of fundamental particle, commonly called the Higgs boson. This particle is required by many of the current Grand Unified Theories (or GUTs) which hope to explain three of the fundamental forces (electromagnetism, the weak & the strong nuclear forces) in a single unified theory. Higgs is professor of theoretical physics at Edinburgh University. This photograph was taken at his office in Edinburgh in 1988. The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson was announced by scientists at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) on the 4th July 2012. Further analysis will be needed to confirm the results. Higgs, along with Francois Englert, was awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the Higgs field

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed British physicist, Prof. Peter Higgs, who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Born in 1929, Prof. Higgs made a groundbreaking prediction in 1964 that changed the course of particle physics forever - he theorized the existence of a new fundamental particle known as the Higgs boson. In this snapshot taken at his office in Edinburgh back in 1988, we witness Prof. Higgs engrossed in deep contemplation amidst stacks of papers and books that reflect his profound intellect and dedication to theoretical physics. As a professor at Edinburgh University, he has played an instrumental role in advancing our knowledge about the fundamental forces governing our world. The significance of Prof. Higgs' work cannot be overstated; it forms an integral part of Grand Unified Theories (GUTs), which strive to unify electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force into one comprehensive theory. His predictions were finally confirmed on July 4th, 2012 when scientists at CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with the elusive Higgs boson. For his extraordinary contributions to science and humanity's understanding of nature's building blocks, Prof. Peter Higgs was awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics alongside Francois Englert in 2013. This print serves as a powerful reminder not only of Prof. Higgs' remarkable achievements but also highlights how scientific breakthroughs can shape our perception of reality while unraveling mysteries that have captivated human curiosity for centuries.
