The Higgs boson was named for him. It was a key element of the Standard Model, which encapsulated all human knowledge so far about elementary particles.

Higgs predicted the existence of the Higgs boson particle, helping explain how matter formed after the Big Bang. His death at 94 was announced by the University of Edinburgh, where he was a professor.

Peter Higgs, who theorized the existence of the ground-breaking Higgs boson 50 years before it was officially discovered, died after a brief illness.
