Today, the new Nobel laureates in physics are 84-year-old Englishman Peter Higgs, after whom the particle is named, and Francois Englert, 80, of Belgium.
Peter Higgs could not be reached by phone. It is rumored he "disappeared" a few days ago to a remote location. Perhaps in the Shetland or Orkney Islands? Or maybe somewhere much farther away.
I love the fact that Peter Higgs has gone into seclusion and did not bring a cell phone with him. Perhaps one of the few sane men left in the world.
I also hope he is relishing a scotch, neat, in the sun somewhere and laughing to himself.
