Physicist Peter Higgs, whose theory of an undetected particle in the universe changed science and was vindicated by a Nobel prize-winning discovery half a century later, has died aged 94, the University of Edinburgh said on Tuesday.
The Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-French border tracked down the particle that has his name.
Professor Peter Higgs theorised about the particle and won a Nobel Prize for his work in 2013.
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.
