The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In 1964, Higgs was the single author of one of the three milestone papers published in Physical Review Letters that proposed that spontaneous symmetry breaking in electroweak theory could explain the origin of mass of elementary particles in general and of the W and Z bosons in particular.
- This Higgs mechanism predicted the existence of a new particle, the Higgs boson, the detection of which became one of the great goals of physics.
- In 2012, CERN announced the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Peter Higgs article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Peter Higgs
