Prof Higgs Shares this Year’s Nobel Prize for physics with Francois Englert

As per recent reports, it has been unveiled that Prof. Peter Higgs received Nobel Prize for physics. He has received the prize in a ceremony that has taken place in Stockholm and has shared the prize with Prof for Higgs Boson.

They have received the prize for a mechanism in which they have explained that what makes the basic building blocks of the Universe to have mass. Sweden's King Carl Gustav was the one who has presented Prof. Higgs with his Nobel medal

To talk about the time when Mr. Higgs came up with theory, it has been found that he was at Edinburgh University at that time. While working on the concept, they were able to come up with Higgs Boson. It was in 2012 that the particle was finally developed.

It was not easy to hand out this award as a number of physicists were involved in this development of the mechanism. A number of discussions took place as maximum three people could be awarded for the physics prize.

"It's difficult to imagine how I would ever have enough peace and quiet in the present sort of climate to do what I did in 1964", said Prof. Higgs.
