It is called a Higgs field, after the Scottish physicist Peter Higgs.⁵

5. Although the Higgs field is named after Peter Higgs, a number of other physicists – Thomas Kibble, Philip Anderson, R. Brout, and François Englert, among others – played a vital part in its introduction into physics and its theoretical development.

Il 9 aprile 2024 è morto il fisico inglese Peter Higgs, premio Nobel per la fisica e scopritore del bosone di Higgs.

Nato nel 1929, è stato professore di fisica teorica all'università di Edimburgo, dove ha condotto importanti studi sulle particelle subatomiche e sul meccanismo che contribuisce alla comprensione della massa nelle particelle elementari. Queste ricerche gli hanno permesso di ottenere il premio Nobel per la Fisica nel 2013 assieme al fisico Francois Englert.

La ricerca sul bosone di Higgs, una particella ritenuta in grado di conferire massa dopo aver interagito con altre, è ancora in corso al CERN di Ginevra nonostante la dipartita del suo scopritore.

'Tanrı parçacığı' teorisinin sahibi Peter Higgs 94 yaşında öldü

Edinburgh Üniversitesi, Higgs bozonu parçacığı teorisini geliştiren Nobel ödüllü fizikçi Peter Higgs'in 94 yaşında öldüğünü söyledi. Büyük Patlama'dan sonra maddenin nasıl oluştuğunu açıklamaya yardımcı olan “ Tanrı parçacığının ” varlığı teorize eden Nobel ödüllü fizikçi Peter Higgs'in Salı günü öldüğünü Edinburgh Üniversitesi açıkladı. Higgs'in  profesör olarak çalıştığı üniversite, kısa bir hastalık döneminden sonra salı günü  evde huzurlu bir şekilde öldüğünü açıkladı. Higgs, 1964'te Higgs bozonu — olarak adlandırılan yeni bir parçacığın varlığını tahmin etti. Ancak parçacığın varlığının Büyük Hadron Çarpıştırıcısı'nda teyit edilmesi için neredeyse 50 yıl gerekti. Higgs ’ maddenin yapı taşları olan atomaltı parçacıkların kütlelerini nasıl elde ettikleri ile ilgili bir teori. Bu teorik anlayış, dünyanın nasıl inşa edildiğinin fiziğini tanımlayan Standart Model'in merkezi bir parçasıdır. Edinburgh Üniversitesi, çığır açan 1964 tarihli makalesinde,  element parçacıklarının Higgs bozonu olarak bilinen yeni bir atom altı parçacığın varlığıyla nasıl kütleye ulaştığını gösterdiğini söyledi. 2012 yılında, on yıllardır fizikteki en büyük atılımlardan birinde, Avrupa Nükleer Araştırmalar Örgütü CERN'deki bilim adamları,  10 milyar dolar değerindeki parçacık çarpıştırıcısını kullanarak bir Higgs bozonu bulduğunu açıkladılar. 27 kilometrelik tünel İsviçre-Fransız sınırının altında. Higgs, bağımsız olarak aynı teoriyi ortaya çıkaran Belçika Francois Englert ile birlikte 2013 Nobel Fizik Ödülü'nü kazandı. Edinburgh Üniversitesi Rektör Yardımcısı Peter Mathieson, Newcastle'da doğan Higgs'in, vizyonu ve hayal gücü bizi çevreleyen dünya hakkındaki bilgimizi zenginleştiren gerçekten yetenekli bir bilim adamı olan “ dikkat çekici bir birey olduğunu söyledi. “ Öncü çalışmaları binlerce bilim insanını motive etti ve mirası gelecek nesiller için daha fazla ilham vermeye devam edecek. ” Higgs ’ çalışması, evrenin en temel bilmecelerinden birini çözmeye yardımcı oluyor: Büyük Patlama'nın 13.7 milyar yıl önce hiçbir şeyden nasıl bir şey yarattığı. Doğrulama bulmak kolay değildi. Trilyonlarca çarpışan protonu inceleyen binlerce bilim adamı. Ve Büyük Patlama'dan sonra saniyenin 2 trilyonda birini simüle eden aşırı enerji dalgalanması üretmek için dünyanın en büyük atom çarpıştırıcısı CERN’in Büyük Hadron Çarpıştırıcısına ihtiyaç duyuluyordu. Cenevre'deki CERN'deki 2013 sunumunda bozonun doğrulandığı sonuçlar geldi . Konferans salonunun standlarında gözlüklerini silerek Hİggs gözyaşlarına boğuldu. 29 Mayıs 1929'da İngiltere'nin kuzeydoğusunda Newcastle'da doğan Higgs, Londra Üniversitesi King's College'da okudu ve 1954'te doktora derecesi aldı. Kariyerinin çoğunu Edinburgh'da geçirdi ve 1980'de İskoç üniversitesinde Teorik Fizik Kişisel Başkanı oldu. 1996 yılında emekli oldu. Higgs, Edinburgh (1998), Swansea (2008) Cambridge (2012), St Andrews ve Manchester (2013) dahil olmak üzere bir düzineden fazla üniversiteden fahri dereceler aldı.   Read the full article

Death Stranding spoilers ahoy!

But this needs to be said

The reveal that Peter Englert was Higgs is the best twist in the whole game, because it was the only one that I either hadn’t already figured out or wasn’t completely ridiculous

BUT that’s still not his real name

Peter Englert is a combination of the names of the two physicists who won the Nobel prize for theorizing the Higgs mechanism, Peter Higgs and Francois Englert

So where tf does Monaghan come from? Cuz that has nothing to do with the Higgs boson! (There are some Monaghans in particle physics but none of them relate to said particle)

Good question! Let me present my theory and head canon!

Higg’s real name is Peter Monaghan. Maybe he was reading about the Higgs boson as he was radicalizing (found a copy of The God Particle by Leon Lederman?) and saw Higgs’s and Englert’s names and, being the edgelord that he so endearingly is, went hey my first name’s Peter and this god particle thing is cool, I’ll just take their names!

[chiralistic]

Can I appreciate for a moment that Higgs’ forehead tattoo lines look to be part of the equation for the Standard Model, which is what the Higgs Particle is from, and that the name Peter Englert is based from Peter Higgs and Francois Englert, who theorized the thing in the first place?

Like holy shit I fucking love that?

For the week of 22 July 2019

Quick Bits:

A Walk Through Hell #12 concludes what has been an excellent horror tale from Garth Ennis, Goran Sudžuka, Ive Svorcina, and Rob Steen with another trip into existential terror as we’re given a glimpse of what this is all about and what’s coming.

| Published by AfterShock

Action Comics #1013 keeps a lot of plates spinning as it works through elements of “Year of the Villain”, Event Leviathan, the ongoing Invisible Mafia story thread, and the Rose and Thorn revival. It’s kind of impressive as to how it remains entertaining and engrossing with as much going on.

| Published by DC Comics

Age of Conan: Bêlit #5 is another ending this week, as we finish off Bêlit’s coming of age origin story, as she confronts the Stygian priest and lays claim to her title of Queen of the Black Coast. Great art from Kate Niemczyk, Scott Hanna, Andrea Di Vito, and Jason Keith.

| Published by Marvel

Amazing Spider-Man #26 introduces us to the new Sinister Syndicate fully as they plan an attack on Boomerang. It’s kind of funny to see him still getting into trouble even now that he’s trying to stay legit. Great art from Kev Walker and Laura Martin.

| Published by Marvel

Ascender #4 gives us a few surprises in the fight between the vampires and the resistance. The grey washes, with mixes of red, from Dustin Nguyen on the vampire’s throneworld is very impressive.

| Published by Image

Batgirl #37 launches the new creative team of Cecil Castellucci, Carmine Di Giandomenico, Jordie Bellaire, and AndWorld Design with part one of “Oracle Rising”. There’s a nice battle with Killer Moth, emphasizing what some villains are doing in order to try to get noticed by Luthor to receive the offer, while playing up the expense that goes into crimefighting. Also, the Terrible Trio unleash something probably not too good.

| Published by DC Comics

Dark Red #5 concludes the first arc as Chip and Evie try to fight off an army of Nazi vampires. It’s good, with some nice funny moments. Great art from Corin Howell and Mark Englert.

| Published by AfterShock

Detective Comics #1008 is a straight-forward single issue story of Batman and Joker at the circus from Peter J. Tomasi, Doug Mahnke, Jaime Mendoza, Dave Baron, and Rob Leigh. It’s a refreshing change of pace from the extended arcs, even as it sets up a new threat in the “Year of the Villain” offering.

| Published by DC Comics

Dial H for Hero #5 gets a little meta as we dive into the Multiverse, the Heroverse, and the Bleed from Sam Humphries, Joe Quinones, Scott Hanna, Jordan Gibson, and Dave Sharpe. The use of breaking through panels, reproductions of old comics scenes, and a variation of styles just deliver phenomenal storytelling.

| Published by DC Comics / Wonder Comics

Dungeons & Dragons: A Darkened Wish #2 continues to fill in the backstory of the adventurers’ time with the White Sails, introducing us to the pitfalls that harried them, before giving more hints in the present of the nightmare that tore them apart. B. Dave Walters, Tess Fowler, Jay Fotos, and Neil Uyetake are delivering an entertaining fantasy tale here.

| Published by IDW

Fearless #1 is a new three-issue anthology mini-series spotlighting a number of the women of Marvel, both characters and creative talent. This first issue leads off with a continuing lead feature from Seanan McGuire, Claire Roe, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Janice Chiang, as Sue Richards, Carol Danvers, and Storm prepare to visit a girls camp as motivational speakers. There’s also an entertaining Mille the Model back-up from Leah Williams, Nina Vakueva, Rosenberg, and Chiang. And a very funny Jessica Jones story from the Captain Marvel team of Kelly Thompson, Carmen Carnero, Tamra Bonvillain, with Chiang. Though short, that last story is pretty much worth the price of the issue alone.

| Published by Marvel

Five Years #3 sees Tambi meet with Ivy and Julie to discuss that various nations around the world are dangerously developing Phi-alloy technology. Also a surprise appearance of people we thought were out. Great art as always from Terry Moore.

| Published by Abstract Studio

The Flash #75 delivers three stories for this extra-sized anniversary issue. The lead concludes the “Year One” arc. This is some of the best art that I have ever seen from Howard Porter, he and Hi-Fi just deliver amazing artwork here. There are also two back-ups, one hinting at things to come in the future for Barry and the other tying in to “Year of the Villain” as Captain Cold receives Luthor’s offer.

| Published by DC Comics

Guardians of the Galaxy #7 begins the second arc, “Faithless”, from Donny Cates, Cory Smith, David Curiel, and Cory Petit. It really introduces us to the new Universal Church of Truth as they take out an entire squadron of the Nova Corps and then worse things happen as the Guardians go off to investigate. I love the name for the Guardians’ new ship and that final page is one hell of a shock.

| Published by Marvel

History of the Marvel Universe #1 is an interesting project from Mark Waid, Javier Rodríguez, Álvaro López, and Joe Caramagna. It’s framed as Galactus telling Franklin Richards (at least I think that’s Franklin Richards) the history of the universe before it dies and the next is reborn. As expected, it’s dry facts, but it’s fascinating in how it’s comprehensively presented and the artwork from Rodríguez and López is jaw-dropping gorgeous. There are also annotations in the back to show where these events come from. It’s well put together and I highly recommended it to die-hard Marvel fans.

| Published by Marvel

Invisible Kingdom #5 concludes the first arc with an almost entirely one-sided battle between the Sun Dog and a Lux battleship. G. Willow Wilson, Christian Ward, and Sal Cipriano elevate the tension nicely through this issue and give a few surprises when everything seems grim and it looks like the end.

| Published by Dark Horse / Berger Books

Killer Groove #3 wonderfully showcases one of Jackie’s cases as it intertwines with the music scene and criminal underworld. Ollie Masters, Eoin Marron, Jordie Bellaire, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou are doing a nice job with this series of crafting one larger story out of many separate smaller tales.

| Published by AfterShock

Lazarus: Risen #2 is another dense read. The series has always been hefty, but this new format has elevated things further, doubling up comics content and adding a prose short story, the letters pages, and extra content like gaming material and the usual in-world advertisements. I’m loving it. Greg Rucka, Michael Lark, Tyler Boss, Santi Arcas, Simon Bowland, Adam Christopher, and Crystal Frasier are definitely giving you your money’s worth and more here. Excellent comics content as the war between Carlyle and Morray/D’Souza heats up.

| Published by Image

Livewire #8 pits Amanda versus Jada for a final round. It’s still interesting how practically everyone is trying to portray Amanda’s actions as harmful and villainous. Great art from Kano.

| Published by Valiant

Martian Manhunter #7 sees J’onn and Diane uncover some of the results of the experiments that have been going on with the kidnapped and missing people, it’s horrifying. Incredible and haunting artwork in this one from Riley Rossmo and Ivan Plascencia. 

| Published by DC Comics

Marvels: Epilogue is a short, but sweet, coda to the Marvels series from Kurt Busiek, Alex Ross, John Roshell, and Richard Starkings. It spotlights events from X-Men #98 through the eyes of Phil Sheldon and his daughters, capturing some of the awe, wonder, and terror that Sheldon experienced during the main series. The book is filled out with an interview with Busiek and Ross on their experience with the series and what it’s like to look back on it 25 years later, as well as interviews with the editors who worked on the book.

| Published by Marvel

Middlewest #9 sets out a new quest for Abel as he comes across the Nowak people. Skottie Young, Jorge Corona, Jean-Francois Beaulieu, and Nate Piekos are continuing to make magic with this series. The art is beautiful and the story is endlessly captivating.

Psi-Lords #2 continues to investigate these four captives, changed for whatever reason by the Psi-Lords, and the habitat of their prison. An interesting jail hierarchy of gangs is revealed and a bit of a memory of the four’s lives before being captured. Gorgeous art from Renato Guedes.

| Published by Valiant

Star Pig #1 is weird. Very weird. Delilah S. Dawson, Francesco Gaston, Sebastian Cheng, and Shawn Lee give us the story of a kid on her way to space camp whose ship is struck and destroyed by an asteroid, saved by a space pig and a scavenger energy ball. It’s probably one of the more unique tales I’ve seen in a while.

| Published by IDW

Sword Master #1, like Aero before it, features two stories. In the first, Greg Pak adapts into English a tale from Shuizhu and Gunji of the titular hero, Lin Lie, and his quest to find his missing father. It’s an interesting start and the artwork from Gunji is gorgeous. The back up original story pairs Shang-Chi up with Lin in a story from Greg Pak, Ario Anindito, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Travis Lanham. It follows up on their appearance in the New Agents of Atlas tie-in to “War of the Realms” and presents an interesting antagonist on their trail.

| Published by Marvel

Valkyrie #1 is a wonderful debut from Jason Aaron, Al Ewing, CAFU, Jesus Aburtov, and Joe Sabino. We get some continued supporting cast from Jane Foster’s time as Thor, although with a new status quo, and an interesting hook in trying to track down Dragonfang, the former Valkyrie’s sword. The art from CAFU and Aburtov is beautiful.

| Published by Marvel

Warlord of Mars Attacks #2 continues this crossover of John Carter and Mars Attacks. It’s interesting how it incorporates Edgar Rice Burroughs’ stories as actual things in this world and explains how Mars as a dead planet and one as teeming with life as Barsoom could exist simultaneously.

| Published by Dynamite

The Weatherman Vol. 2 #2 gives us more of a look at the nightmare that has consumed Earth as the crew attempt to find the doctor who might be able to fix everything. It goes about as well as could be expected. The monster designs and execution from Nathan Fox and Moreno Dinisio are incredible.

| Published by Image

Web of Venom: Funeral Pyre #1 is another one-shot catching up on the wider world of Venom as we barrel headlong into Absolute Carnage. Cullen Bunn, Joshua Cassara, Alberto Alburquerque, Jay David Ramos, and Clayton Cowles give us a great story checking in with Andi Benton, the former Mania and occasional sidekick to Flash Thompson’s Venom.

| Published by Marvel

Wonder Woman #75 continues “Return of the Amazons” from G. Willow Wilson, Xermanico, Jesus Merino, Vicente Cifuentes, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Pat Brosseau. This arc basically brings Wilson’s run around full circle to deal with some of the elements that kicked off her first issue as Diana faces off against Grail. Some really nice double page spreads with border art from Xermanico.

Francois Englert and Peter Higgs were awarded the Nobel physics prize on Tuesday Oct. 8, 2013. (AP Photo/Keystone/Martial Trezzini, File) STOCKHOLM (AP) ? It took nearly 50 years, but Francois Englert of Belgium and Peter Higgs of Britain won the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for figuring out how the universe's most basic building blocks acquire mass and form the world we know today.The two men developed their ideas independently of each other in the 1960s and they seemed to underpin the whole Standard Model of physics, which offered a framework for how the universe works. Yet their theory was only confirmed last year when researchers at the CERN laboratory in Geneva discovered the so-called Higgs boson, or particle, in a major breakthrough.To track down the elusive subatomic unit ? sometimes referred to by laymen as the "God particle" ? thousands of scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, had to build the world's biggest atom smasher. The $10 billion Large Hadron Collider operates in a 17-mile (27-kilometer) tunnel beneath the Swiss-French border."I am overwhelmed to receive this award and thank the Royal Swedish Academy," the 84-year-old Higgs said in a statement released by the University of Edinburgh, where he is a professor emeritus. "I hope this recognition of fundamental science will help raise awareness of the value of blue-sky research.

"Englert, 80, thanked all those who helped him in his research and said he could not have imagined getting a Nobel Prize when he started the work 50 years ago."You don't work thinking to get the Nobel Prize. That's not how you work," said Englert, a professor emeritus at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium. "(Still) we had the impression that we were doing something that was important, that would later on be used by other researchers."For once, the Nobel physics judges picked a prize that had been widely anticipated; their choices are normally hard to predict. However, the announcement was delayed by an hour, which is highly unusual.The academy said on Twitter it was "still in session" when it was supposed to make its announcement, but didn't explain the reason for the delay. It could be a while before the world finds out why, because the academy's deliberations are kept secret for 50 years.Permanent Secretary Staffan Normark said the academy couldn't reach Higgs by phone on Tuesday, but wouldn't say whether that's what caused the delay.By awarding only the men behind the theory, the prize committee avoided the tricky issue of picking someone at CERN to share the award. Nobels can be shared by no more than three people.Academy member Ulf Danielsson noted that the prize citation also honored the work done at CERN, even though it didn't single out any of its scientists."This is a giant discovery, it means the final building block in the so-called standard model for particle physics has been put in place, so it marks a milestone in the history of physics," Danielsson said."I'm thrilled that this year's Nobel Prize has gone to particle physics," said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer. He added that the discovery of the particle at CERN "marks the culmination of decades of intellectual effort by many people around the world."In the CERN cafeteria, applause broke out and champagne bottles popped. Heuer told everyone to applaud themselves for their work.Englert and Higgs were trying to provide an answer to a riddle: why do certain fundamental particles have mass. They proposed the existence of an invisible field that sprawls through space like a net. The building blocks of matter, they suggested, acquired mass shortly after the Big Bang, when they were trapped by this field. Much later, as the universe cooled, they formed atoms. To detect the field, the scientists suggested looking for the Higgs boson, because all fields are associated with a particle.Decades would pass before scientists at CERN were able to confirm the particle's existence in July 2012.Only about one collision per trillion will produce one of the Higgs bosons in the giant atom collider, and it took CERN some time after the discovery of a new "Higgs-like" boson to decide that the particle was, in fact, very much like the Higgs boson expected in the original formulation.The phrase "God particle" was coined by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, but it's disliked by most physicists because it connotes the supernatural. Lederman said later that the phrase ? mostly used by laymen as an easier way of explaining the theory ? was really meant to convey that he felt it was the "goddamn particle," because it proved so hard to prove.Michael Turner, president of the American Physical Society, an organization of physicists, said the Higgs particle captured the imagination of the public."If you're a physicist, you can't get in a taxi anywhere in the world without having the driver ask you about the Higgs particle," said Turner, a cosmologist at the University of Chicago.Turner said the Higgs is the first in a class of particles that scientists think played a role in shaping the universe. That means it points the way to tackling mysteries like the nature of so-called dark energy and dark matter, he said.The physics prize was the second of this year's Nobel awards to be announced. On Monday, the Nobel Prize in medicine was given to American scientists James Rothman,

Randy Schekman and Thomas Sudhof for discoveries about how key substances are moved around within cells.The prizes, established by Swedish industrialist and Alfred Nobel, will be handed out on Dec. 10 ? the anniversary of his death in 1896. Each prize is worth 8 million Swedish kronor ($1.2 million).___Jordans reported from Berlin.

Peter Higgs. A short Bio behind the man.

Peter Higgs, full name Peter Ware Higgs, born in England in 1929, a British physicist awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physics for proposing the existence of the boson that would revolutionize how we understand the universe (Gregersen, 2020). Earning his doctorate in physics in 1954 at the University of London, he later met his colleague Francois Englert in his time at the University of Edinburgh, where they both collaborated in the effort to discover this boson

CERN breakthrough: LHC detects one of rarest decays of the Nearly a decade after the Higgs boson’s discovery was announced to the world, physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) are still breaking down the fundamental buildings blocks of the Universe. On Monday, February 8, CERN’s physicists have presented the world’s first evidence of an extremely rare decay known as Dalitz decay. The process sees the Higgs boson – an elementary particle that imparts mass on other particles through the invisible Higgs field – decaying into two leptons and a photon. Leptons are one of the building blocks of matter in the Standard Model of particle physics. The six leptons we know are electrons, muons and tau particles with their associated neutrinos – electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos. The Higgs boson’s decay was mediated by a so-called virtual photon, which has a very small mass, unlike the regular photon, and decays into two leptons. CERN’s scientists searched for the decay in the LHC Run 2 data set, which the LHC collected between 2015 and 2018. READ MORE: Elon Musk’s Mars plan rocked over fears humans will ‘self-extinguish’ The scientists searched, in particular, for a collision with two leptons and a photon that had a combined mass of less than 30 GeV. Observing the Higgs boson’s decay into a photon and lepton pair will help physicists learn more about the so-called charge parity (CP) symmetry problem. CERN said: “CP symmetry is a way of saying that the mirror image of interacting particles, where particles are replaced by their antiparticles, should look exactly the same as the original interaction. “This was a natural assumption until 1964, when physicists studying kaon particles noticed – to their great surprise – that this is not the case in the particle physics world.” When the Universe was created in the Big Bang, equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have been created. The 17-mile (27km) long instrument, which sits deep under Geneva and parts of France, accelerates and collides particle to near the speed of light in hopes of recreating conditions present at the Big Bang. In 2012, CERN’s ATLAS and CMS experiments announced to the world they have found evidence of the elusive Higgs boson particle. Since the 1970s, this boson was theorised to impart mass on other particles by interacting with the so-called Higgs field which permeates the Universe. Theoretical physicists Peter Higgs, Robert Brout and Francois Englert played a key role in the theoretical framework behind the particle. In 2013, Professor Higgs and Englert shared the Nobel Prize in Physics “for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles”. Because of the boson’s role in imparting mass on other particles, the Higgs boson is sometimes called the God Particle. Although Professor Higgs himself disliked it, the nickname stuck. The God Particle term was coined by Noble Prize winner Leon Lederman in his 1993 book The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?. He wrote: “Why God Particle? Two reasons. One, the publisher wouldn’t let us call it the Goddamn Particle, though that might be a more appropriate title, given its villainous nature and the expense it is causing. “And two, there is a connection, of sorts, to another book, a much older one…” if(typeof utag_data.ads.fb_pixel!=="undefined"&&utag_data.ads.fb_pixel==!0)!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments);if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window,document,'script','https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');fbq('init','568781449942811');fbq('track','PageView') Source link Orbem News #Breakthrough #CERN #decays #Detects #LHC #Rarest

Another excerpt from a different fic. I’ll get around to posting it eventually. Gotta rewrite a lot of it, but I like this scene and wanted to go ahead and share it. It’s a Higgs/Fragile fic, but there’s a healthy dose of Higgs and Sam BroTP in there for sure

Peter wakes feeling better, a little more human, and sits up and stretches like a cat, wincing at the sore pull in the long muscles of his back. He stands and walks to the sink, taking a clean glass from the cupboard and filling it with water straight from the tap, sucking it down so fast he nearly chokes. He fills it again and sips slowly this time, then wanders over to the monitor and turns it on. He’s surprised to find Sam still in the shelter, sitting on the cot and rocking his BB pod gently in his hands, his lips moving as he speaks to the fetus within it. Peter watches for a while, curious despite himself, then leans forward to press the talk button on the intercom.

“Hey, Sam?” He asks, grinning when he scares the hell out of the man. “How long’s it been since we were both on Amelie’s Beach?” And Sam frowns at that, considering as he watches the BB press its palms against the glass and stick its tongue out at him.

“About six months since we fought at Edge Knot City.” He says after a long moment, and Peter leans back in his chair and tips his head back, staring at the ceiling. Six months. He’d been on the Beach for six months. Shit. “When did you come back?” Sam asks hesitantly, and Peter snorts and hits the button again.

“Couple hours ‘fore you showed up here, I think.” He replies, looking at the timestamp on the video feed. “Don’t know what time exactly.” They’re quiet again for a long time, and Peter can tell that Sam has something to say. “Spit it out, Bridges.” He huffs into the intercom, and Sam flinches and screws his face all up.

“What’s your plan, Higgs?” He asks, almost tentatively.

“First, I’m gonna ask you not to call me that anymore.”

“Why not? Isn’t that your name?” And the other man doesn’t sound like he’s mocking him, just genuinely curious.

“No.” He huffs, regretting even mentioning it. “It’s Peter.”

“Really? Like in your pizza emails?” Sam asks, astonished. Peter winces and sighs.

“Yeah, you know, Peter Higgs and Francois Englert. The folks who theorized the Higgs mechanism? Won a prize for the god particle.” He says quietly. “Real name’s Peter Monaghan. I know it’s stupid.”

“Okay.” Sam says after another long pause, seeming to accept the explanation. “So what’s next, Peter?” He winces again and considers.

“A big fat nothin, Sam.” He says at last. “Probably just stay here til I die.” Sam frowns again and says nothing, and Peter is about to call that the end of this particular conversation and shut off the monitor when Sam finally takes a deep breath and looks up into the camera.

“Want me to bring you food from time to time?” He asks plainly, and Peter stares, almost able to convince himself that Sam is really looking at him instead.

“Sure, I guess.” He says hesitantly, wondering what the catch is.

“Pizza?” Sam asks wryly. Peter snorts.

“Only when it’s convenient for you.” He replies.

“Since when have you cared about that?” Sam huffs, almost teasing, and Peter laughs.

“Since now, asshole.” He retorts, grinning widely, and Sam smiles and shakes his head.

“I’ll see what I can do.” He says, then turns back to his BB, cooing softly at it and rocking it in his hands once more, effectively ending their conversation. And suddenly Peter feels like he is intruding in his own damn home, so he shuts off the monitor and busies himself with something else.

do you have a family template in mind? suggested fcs for marbrands?

          i actually don’t have a particularly strong preference for the family in regards to parents/siblings/etc., so the world is your oyster, as they say ! but for suggestions, i could definitely see kit harrington, luke evans, annabel scholey, thomas doherty, katie mcgrath, henry cavill, alice englert, ben barnes, kristen stewart, ben whishaw, lily collins, colin o’donoghue, joe dempsie, sean bean, meghan ory, michelle dockery, rose byrne, & natalie portman !

          i tried to include just fcs with period resources, but i could also come up with another list of fcs without, if these don’t strike your fancy !

edit — i thought of some more ! eva green, colin morgan, eoin macken, aneurin barnard, janet montgomery, jonathan rhys meyers, ginnifer goodwin, richard armitage, francois arnaud, hugh dancy, gemma arterton, hayley atwell, astrid berges-frisbey, emily browning, marion cotillard, felicity jones, camille rutherford, & alicia vikander !

higgs monaghan has ALWAYS been higgs monaghan. peter englert was just a "look at me, i'm clever, you'll never guess who i am!" pseudonym based on Peter [Higgs] and [François] Englert, the joint nobel prize (physics, 2013) winners for the theory & proof of the higgs mechanism. not sure wtf half of this fandom is smoking tbh

(2)follow up to my previous peter englert/higgs #discourse message - i think maybe stuff like this spreads in such a small fandom because a lot of people in the fandom have experienced the game via longplays/gameplay commentaries/cutscene movies (which definitely isn't a bad thing, as long as people love this game i'm all in, pls can more people love it i beg) but maybe some of the context gets lost along the way and headcanon blurs with canon? idk. anyway love your blog & writing ily x

Thank you nonny and several others for clearing that up! I knew about the Peter Higgs and Francois Englert bit, but I thought cause I’ve been seeing said statement floating around that I missed something in the game that was vital. I saw a lot of this discourse on Reddit which is why I was going WTF to begin with. 

I wish the fandom was bigger, but I am thankful for the peeps I have met through it. I think Kojima did his job well: a game about reconnecting people ended up connecting a lot of awesome creative folks together and that’s special to me. 

I love you and thank you for shedding some more light on this subject as well as your thoughts. Thank you for the awesome compliment as well!
