François Englert, Nobelist Who Helped Predict the ‘God Particle,’ Dies at 93

François Englert, a famous scientist, has died. He was 93 years old. He helped to predict something very important in science. This important thing is called the 'God Particle,' but its real name is the Higgs boson. It is a very, very small piece, like a tiny particle.

Englert's work helped scientists understand how these small particles get their weight, or 'mass.' This was a big mystery for a long time. Knowing how particles get mass helps us understand how the universe works. His ideas were very smart and made a big difference in physics.

Later, other scientists found the Higgs boson in real life, showing that Englert's prediction was correct. Because of his amazing work, he won a very important award called the Nobel Prize. He was a great scientist, and his work changed how we see the world around us.
