Peter Higgs, the British physicist who proposed the Higgs boson, has died.
In 1964, Higgs came up with a theory about a particle that gives other particles their mass. The particle, which we now know as the Higgs boson, changed the way we view the universe. Scientists discovered the existence of the Higgs boson particle in 2012, and Higgs was awarded a Nobel Prize the following year.
Higgs was 94.
