I am not sure how I missed this one, but RIP Peter Higgs (April 8th) @ 94
I was watching some programs on gravity and particle physics, as I do, and they mentioned it. I guess I was distracted by the Eclipse and OJ at the time.
A pillar in the fundamental understanding of our universe and the standard model.

If he now knows the structure of the universe, I wish there was a way for him to tell us.
