Nobel laureate Peter Higgs gave his name to one of the great scientific discoveries of the last century, earning a place alongside Albert Einstein and Max Planck in physics textbooks.His 1964 theory of a mass-giving particle, which became known as the Higgs boson or the "God particle", earned him and Belgian physicist Francois Englert the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physics.  

Higgs predicted the existence of a new particle - the so-called Higgs boson - in 1964. But it would be almost 50 years before the particles existence could be confirmed at the Large Hadron Collider.
