Nobel Peace Prize in Physics Awarded to...

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 was awarded jointly to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles. The Higgs boson is what gives all matter its mass and is a central part of the scientific theory. Its discovery was understood as one of the biggest scientific achievements. The link attached describes the discovery in full detail. I found it to be quite interesting, given the time period we are in. It is great to see Physics flourish in the Sciences.
