His groundbreaking 1964 theory—later confirmed by the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN—revolutionized our understanding of the universe’s fundamental forces. Alongside Robert Brout, Englert proposed a cosmic field that breaks symmetry to give mass, a concept that earned him the 2013 Nobel Prize. A survivor of Nazi persecution in WWII, his life embodied resilience and intellectual brilliance, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape modern physics.
