Buried 300 feet underground, the Collider smashes subatomic particles together with enormous energy. As Lesley Stahl reported in 2015, by studying the collisions, scientists made a major discovery: the Higgs boson. Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, the particle's namesake, died this week at 94.

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

    My first engineering physics professor in college worked with Dr. Higgs on the Compact Muon Solenoid and played a part in the discovery of the Higgs Boson. Wow, what a bunch of incredible humans. I could never understand physics like these individuals do, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it.

    Rip Peter. Your contributions to science drive us forward. Thank you.
  • I LOVE ❤️ STORIES LIKE THIS, might not fully understand or grasp it but, thank you and grateful for all the people who are working to push humanity forward, rest in paradise Mr.Higgs
  • @Liamh68
    I’m glad he’s there to see it!
  • @Spurg007
    Wow , they are so open about it now . There are some things you just don’t mess with
  • @az-me3xt
    Keep posting these rewind clips!
  • @mellowslinky
    Higgs is amazing. crazy how many times in history have the eccentrics have moved things forward
  • This is fascinating. Wish I was intelligent enough to understand exactly what’s going on
  • @HebaruSan
    How does "God particle" keep getting past editors and fact checkers? Nobody actually calls it that other than lazy reporters.
  • @BronzDano
    RIP Prof.Higgs thank you for your contributions to humanity
  • @khg8519
    KInda like --- Seismic imaging is the numerical process of creating an image of the subsurface from reflections recorded at the surface. a warmth we can all feel
  • @GATEWAY2MARS
    Her hair is crazy 😆 RIP Peter Higgs. ❤️
  • @klintboggess
    Bro died the same day they restarted the particle accelerator wtf
  • This guys wife couldn’t tell him he’s wrong those were I told you so tears man what a brilliant guy
  • @katymedearis7174
    RIP Peter!! So can we prove that matter softens in the vortex of a tornado ?
