Found out that yesterday via social media.. that it was the birthday of Peter Higgs, Here’s the 6 degrees of connection…down to 1.. He went to Kings College London (University) and so did I.. And as I love all that quantum / particle / energy stuff…can’t miss this belated opportunity to wish him a very Happy Birthday. 🙂
” Peter Higgs! Born in 1929 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Higgs studied physics at King’s College London. He was in his early 30s when he proposed a symmetry-breaking mechanism that could bestow mass on elementary particles while leaving behind massive spin-zero bosons. Although other physicists independently derived the same mechanism, it’s usually referred to as the Higgs” Extract & photo taken from https://www.facebook.com/PhysicsToday
I gave a talk at Beltane Bash – pagan festival few years ago, titled `The God Particle’ and of course CERN has now `discovered’ the Higgs Boson in experimental results.. Great stuff ! I’ll be writing more about `Quantum-Magic’ in forthcoming blog posts…so stay tuned 🙂
