There were of course others who also solved the mass mystery but only Higgs drew attention to the massive boson, but for which we would be hard pressed (unable?) to have confirmed the theory.

Very sad to hear this. To physicists of all generations, he will always be a great. As an educator in Bristol, I’m glad to know he went to Cotham School, together with his brilliant physicist predecessor, Paul Dirac. Not a bad roster for one school!

‘Elusive’ by Frank Close is the closest thing to a biography of Higgs we’ll get. My review of ‘Elusive’ from 2022, exactly ten years after the discovery of the particle named after him amp.theguardian.com/books/2022/jul…

Wow. That brought back memories! The path of that Libyan eclipse in 2006 gets transported 120degrees west, 18years 10+ days later and is the Saros analogue that on Monday crosses Mexico, USA and eastern Canada. Great American Eclipse 🌞🌗🌎
