Comment on Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Englert and Higgs

Comments

They say that professor Higgs is shy and not at all comfortable with the attention and almost as hard to find as his particle.

They couldn't contact him initially because he was away without a phone. If you want to be effective.... (He certainly isn't wasting part of his evening reading HN like me)

I'm sensing you're being facetious, but not knowing the personalities involved, what does this mean? Is he a notorious publicity hound?

Means pretty much what it says, Professor Higgs is quite uncomfortable with publicity.

Apparently, he's on holiday right now, with no phone / email. Almost certainly deliberately.

facetious? That's a good humor.
