    I’m so happy he lived to see the discovery of the particle and the confirmation of his theory

      It’s really quite astonishing.

      Speaks to how quickly technology can advance over one’s lifetime and how much of a pioneer scientists are.

    People will say his name for as long as our civilisation lasts. Like Volta, Ampere or Watt.

    He fixed the standard model of particle physics. He was also the reason why this was built to prove his theory.
